    “Somewhere slightly before or after the close of our second decade, we reach a momentous milestone—childhood’s end. We have left a safe place and can’t go home again. We have moved into a world where life isn’t fair, where life is rarely what it should be.”
    —Judith Viorst (20th century)

    “Armageddon. The slaughter of humanity. An atomic war no one wanted, but which no one had the wisdom to avoid.”
    —Edward L. Bernds (b. 1911)
