Quote by Alyson Foster

“Those terms haunt me, -- in the way of all aspersions that contain a germ of truth. I have been unable to banish them. They sit on my shoulders and mutter in my ears during all my moments of doubt.”

“In this case Karen’s child was her story. And all the world was waiting greedily for its deliverance even if they didn’t yet know its name or the uncomfortable shape of it and the peculiar contours that altogether were sure to test the foundations upon which they had built their holiest of houses and coziest of dens. They only knew that all of history was in want of a definitive accounting and that such had already been written and then ensepulchered by prophets unsung and that their eventual unveiling was nothing less than the birthright of all humankind.”

“The Great Recession and its continuing aftermath have left many twenty-somethings feeling naïve, even devastated.Twenty-somethings are more educated than ever before, but a smaller percentage find work after college. Many entry-level jobs have gone overseas, making it more difficult for twenty-somethings to gain a foothold at home. With a contracting economy and a growing population, unemployment is at its highest in decades. An unpaid internship is the new starter job. About a quarter of twenty-somethings are out of work and another quarter work only part-time. Twenty-somethings who do have paying jobs earn less than their 1970s counterparts when adjusted for inflation.”
