And shambles down the dirty street
The last man in the town, they said,
Whod shot a hundred Yankees dead.”

“Were headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin off of the quality of vagrants. There was a time you could find real good company in almost any jungle youd pick, men who could talk, men whod read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with.
Well, its been that way all through history.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
“All parents occasionally have ambivalent feelings toward their children. We love our kids, but there are times when we dont really like them, or at least we cant stand what our children are doing. But most of us keep those feelings to ourselves, as if its dirty little secret. It doesnt fit in with our images of what we should do and feel as parents.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
