“The best of our theater is standing on tiptoe, striving to see over the shoulders of father and mother. The worst is exploiting and wallowing in the self-pity of adolescence and obsessive keyhole sexuality. The way out, as the poet says, is always through.”
Arthur Miller
“We must now brace ourselves for disquisitions on peer pressure, adolescent anomie, and rage.”
Charles Krauthammer
“Liberalism has produced women that are driven like men to succeed and men that succeed in being driven around by women.”
Daniel Bryant Gates
“[As Shannon began seeking her identity during adolescence, she felt suffocated by her mother.] Religious extremism and black-and-white ideology don't let people be people, ... It doesn't provide problem-solving skills. It sets people up to be damaged by offering simple answers to complex problems. It lacks compassion without care to what the research is. And nobody's that damn perfect.”
Joe Fields
“One has to bear in mind that during my childhood and adolescence, I suffered the repression of the Somoza dictatorship in every way: economically, socially, as well as at the hands of the police -- because if we went out on the street to play baseball, for example, the police would come and beat us up and put us in prison.”
Daniel Ortega
“I have a homosexual crush on most adolescents.”
Tre Cool
“Poetry is adolescence fermented and thus preserved”
Jose Ortega y Gasset
