“When everything is available, every lifestyle on offer, when all you have is freedom, but nothing to guide you in that freedom, “it’s not so much that you lose the thread of the meaning of your life, you have trouble even staying focused on the question.”

“Ron Haskins and Isabel Sawhill of the Brookings Institution have found that of people who follow three traditional rules—graduate from high school, get a full-time job and marry before having children—only 2 percent live in poverty. So play by these rules, called “the success sequence,” and by and large one can avoid poverty. In contrast, of those who do none of those three things, 79 percent live in poverty.”

“As a society, we denounce "delinquents," "hoodlums" and "hooligans," but the truth is that we routinely fail troubled kids before they fail us. More children die each year in the United States from abuse and neglect than from cancer. For every child who dies, thousands are injured, raped or brutally abused. We shrug as millions of children undergo trauma in ways that harm them and unravel our social fabric--and then we blame the kids when things go wrong.”
