“No man can entirely separate himself in his moral life from his fellows. No matter how vigorous his individuality, he can never escape the consciousness of their standard and their judgment, and he must be swayed by it more or less, even though he denies it for awhile to himself. "Such”
Richard Dallas, A Master Hand The Story of a Crime

Rose Macaulay
“And had the young, both men and women, always believed that they alone could save the world, that the last generation, the elderly people, were no good, were, in fact, responsible for the unfortunate state in which the world had always up to now been, and that it was for the young to usher in the New Day? Well, no doubt they were right.

Robert Smythe Hichens, The Folly of Eustace

Nevil Shute, Pied Piper
