American Youth

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or youth:

“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)

“Everybody’s youth is a dream, a form of chemical madness.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
