    “Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.”
    —Max Lerner (b. 1902)

    “the scythers, Time and Death,
    Helmed locusts, move upon the tree of breath;”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
