• Do they merit vitriol, even a drop of it? Yes, because they corrupt the young, persuading them that the mature world, which produced Beethoven and Schweitzer, sets an even higher value on the transient anodynes of youth than does youth itself.... They are the Hollow Men. They are electronic lice.

  Anthony Burgess

• Families and societies are small and large versions of one another. Both are made up of people who have to work together, whose destinies are tied up with one another. Each features the components of a relationship: leaders perform roles relative to the led, the young to the old, and male to female; and each is involved with the process of decision-making, use of authority, and the seeking of common goals.

• The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.

• When I was fair and young, and favor graced me,
  Of many was I sought, their mistress for to be;
  But I did scorn them all, and answered them therefore,
  "Go, go, go seek some otherwhere!
  Importune me no more!

• Ancient worship . . . does truth. All one has to do is to study the ancient liturgies to see that liturgies clearly do truth by their order and in their substance. This is why so many young people today are now adding ancient elements to their worship. . . . This recovery of ancient practices is not the mere restoration of ritual but a deep, profound, and passionate engagement with truth—truth that forms and shapes the spiritual life into a Christlikeness that issues forth in the call to a godly and holy life and into a deep commitment to justice and to the needs of the poor.

• Philip Galanes has fashioned a novel both bleak and funny about a young man's struggle to sort out his troubled love: the too-strong love for his mother, the too-weak love for his suicidal father, and the all-consuming love of anonymous sexual encounters. Pointed and acute, this story tells of the narrator's many betrayals of others and their many betrayals of him. It exists in an uncomfortable moral space where the humor of terrible things sometimes outweighs, but never obscures, their poignancy.

• Aunque nos gusta pensar que la vida de los niños pequeños está libre de problemas, en realidad está llena de decepciones y frustraciones. Los niños desean tanto, pero pueden disponer tan poco de sus propias vidas, que a menudo están dominadas por adultos sin simpatía por las prioridades de los niños. Por eso los niños necesitan soñar despiertos mucho más que los adultos. Y como sus vidas han sido relativamente limitadas, tienen una mayor necesidad de material a partir del cual formar ensoñaciones.

• Philip Galanes debuta con una novela a la vez desgarradora y hábilmente cómica, la historia de un joven que lucha contra sus deseos más primitivos: desear y necesitar. Es una novela sobre las complejas relaciones entre padres e hijos, una historia de pérdida y de nuestra implacable necesidad de reconocimiento, de ser vistos como lo que somos. Y al final es simplemente una historia de amor para nuestro tiempo.

• The logic of all this seems to be that it is all right for young people in a democracy to learn about any civilization or social theory that is not dangerous, but that they should remain entirely ignorant of any civilization or social theory that might be dangerous on the ground that what you don't know can't hurt you ... a complete denial of the democratic principle that the general diffusion of knowledge and learning through the community is essential to the preservation of free government.

• I've tried, at every step in life, to find a lesson. And accepting criticism with the same grace that you do the applause is something every young athlete needs to learn. ... I think it served me well to learn how to handle everything that came with the game's ups and downs. Some people call it growing another layer of skin. I just call it growing up.
