These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”

    “Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . .

    —Claire Berman (20th century)
