“Our business being to colonize the country, there was only one way to do it—by spreading over it all the associations and connections of family life.”

“We cannot spare our children the influence of harmful values by turning off the television any more than we can keep them home forever or revamp the world before they get there. Merely keeping them in the dark is no protection and, in fact, can make them vulnerable and immature.”
