And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.

“... when you make it a moral necessity for the young to dabble in all the subjects that the books on the top shelf are written about, you kill two very large birds with one stone: you satisfy precious curiosities, and you make them believe that they know as much about life as people who really know something.

—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
