“What causes adolescents to rebel is not the assertion of authority but the arbitrary use of power, with little explanation of the rules and no involvement in decision-making. . . . Involving the adolescent in decisions doesn’t mean that you are giving up your authority. It means acknowledging that the teenager is growing up and has the right to participate in decisions that affect his or her life.”

—Katherine Gerson (20th century)

An engine, an engine
Chuffing me off like a Jew.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
