“Remember, Remember, the fifth of November,
the Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes, Guys Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and Parliament;
Threescore barrels of powder below,
Poor old England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning match.”
― Nadine Brandes, Fawkes

“A coward I might be, but at least I was a free one.”
― Nadine Brandes, Fawkes

“Our uprising is against a cultural mind-set that twists the purpose and potential of the teen years and threatens to cripple our generation. Our uprising won’t be marked by mass riots and violence, but by millions of individual teens quietly choosing to turn the low expectations of our culture upside down.”
― Alex Harris, Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations

“the modern concept of adolescence is not a biological stage, but a cultural mind-set. It doesn’t stop when you graduate from high school, or when you turn twenty-one.”
― Alex Harris, Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
