“Civil rights happened because youth got involved. The youth stood up and helped to break the pattern that their parents had got accustomed to living. The next generation has to take that stand for whatever it is, socially, that they are involved in.” NextParentBreakRightsGenerationsHappenedYouthInvolvedPatternsCivil RightsAccustomedNext GenerationStood Up Author:Octavia Spencer

“O ye whose years unfolding fair Are fresh with youth, and free from care, Should vice and indolence desire The garden of your souls to hire, No parleys hold-reject the suit, Nor let one seed the soil pollute.

“From my earliest youth I've been riddled with angst about the homogeneity of the world and have tried to do things to break it: attacking abercrombie & fitch in the mall with a plunger, posting strange statues made of garbage around my town, different kinds of interventions, parades and experiments. I've always cared a lot about difference.” WorldKindDifferentBreakYouthStrangeDifferent KindsAngst Author:Kalan Sherrard
“This self now as I leant over the gate looking down over fields rolling in waves of colour beneath me made no answer. He threw up no opposition. He attempted no phrase. His fist did not form. I waited. I listened. Nothing came, nothing. I cried then with a sudden conviction of complete desertion. Now there is nothing. No fin breaks the waste of this immeasurable sea. Life has destroyed me. No echo comes when I speak, no varied words. This is more truly death than the death of friends, than the death of youth.” MadeSelfFormSpeakAnswersBreakSeaFieldsYouthWasteWaveConvictionDestroyedPhrasesColourOppositionGatesCriedEchoesRollingFistsLooking DownFinsSea LifeDeath Of A FriendDesertion Book:Delphi Complete Works of Virginia Woolf (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Virginia Woolf (Illustrated)
