“We can surely no longer pretend that our children are growing up into a peaceful, secure, and civilized world. We've come to the point where it's irresponsible to try to protect them from the irrational world they will have to live in when they grow up.

Our responsibility to them is not to pretend that if we don't look, evil will go away, but to give them weapons against it.”
