“If you expect complete honesty, youll be disappointed. And dont expect gratitude for your parenting efforts. Do expect that youll feel like youre on a yo-yointimate with your child one day, distant the next. As long as shes safe, dont invade her world. Remember: most teens end up being closer to their parents after adolescence than they were before.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“Celebrity-worship and hero-worship should not be confused. Yet we confuse them every day, and by doing so we come dangerously close to depriving ourselves of all real models. We lose sight of the men and women who do not simply seem great because they are famous but are famous because they are great. We come closer and closer to degrading all fame into notoriety.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
