“No one ever grows up. They may look grown-up, but it's a disguise. It's just the clay of time. Men and women are still children deep in their hearts. They still would like to jump and play, but that heavy clay won't let them. They'd like to shake off every chain the world's put on them, take off their watches and neckties and Sunday shoes and return naked to the swimming hole, if just for one day. They'd like to feel free, and know that there's a momma and daddy at home who'll take care of things and love them no matter what. Even behind the face of the meanest man in the world is a scared little boy trying to wedge himself into a corner where he can't be hurt.”

“A number of children kept coming over to the tennis courts, rattling on the gate, and trying to get in. The watching middle-class mums did nothing to restrain them. Eventually my friend yelled, “Go AWAY!” Whereupon the watching mums did do something. A mob of them descended on us as though my friend had exposed himself. Suddenly we were in the midst of a maternal zombie film. It was the nearest I’ve ever come to getting lynched—they were after my friend rather than me and though, strictly speaking, I was his opponent, I was a tacit accomplice—and a clear demonstration that the rights of parents and their children to do whatever they please have priority over everyone else’s. “A child is the very devil,” wrote Virginia Woolf in a letter, “calling out, as I believe, all the worst and least explicable passions of the parents.”

“Racism hates love: loving someone of another ethnicity is intolerable for them. Through racists' prism, since ethnic groups differ as much as animal species do, mixing their blood spoils the "ethnic perfection" of the master race. Therefore, racism forbids one of the fundamental rights of human beings: the freedom of to love, marry, and have children with whomever they want. However, this is also not sufficient to satisfy racism. It forbids right of being loved either! Although being loved is not in loved one's own hands! Just as a Jew cannot love a German, neither can a Jew be loved by a German! Yet, racism fears even children born from the love of different ethnicities. Because successful hybrid families and their gifted children are the strongest evidence of racism's betrayal of humanity. In order to prevent such "accidental" evidence, racism becomes so totalitarian, voyeuristic, immoral, and ugly that it decides on behalf of people to whom they may ejaculate sperm. -To be tried as a Jew-”
