“People always ask us, “Are things better or worse today?” Well, some things are better and some things are worse....

Why, clean water was just something you took for granted.”

“I’ve noticed over the years that kids who are allowed to be emotionally honest develop a genuineness that more repressed kids don’t ever seem to acquire. Their words match their facial expressions. Their actions match their words, and they relate from a position of strength.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“Come children, let us shut up the box and the puppets, for our play is played out.”
