Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
