Age System

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or system:

“Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunities for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

“Daily life is governed by an economic system in which the production and consumption of insults tends to balance out.”
