“the myth of childhood happiness flourishes so wildly not because it satisfies the needs of children but because it satisfies the needs of adults.

“Everything that can weaken us as a race we have had for the last thousand years. It seems as if during that period the national life had this one end in view, viz how to make us weaker and weaker, till we have become real earthworms, crawling at the feet of every one who dares to put his foot on us.
