“Each era invents its own child. Over the past 500 years, conceptions of the child changed gradually from an ill-formed adult who must be subjugated to society's goals to a precious being who must be protected from unreasonable social demands.

I don't think human nature has changed in the last 50-150 years, but the stresses, the demands on those of us in public life have just exploded.”
