“In the unexamined American Dream rhetoric promoting mass higher education in the nation of my youth, the implicit vision was that one day everyone, or at least practically everyone, would be a manager or a professional. We would use the most elitist of all means, scholarship, toward the most egalitarian of ends. We would all become chiefs; hardly anyone would be left a mere Indian.” MeanEndsUseDreamWould BeLeftNationsVisionYouthHigherOne DayMassMereChiefsManagersIndianAmerican DreamRhetoricPromotingScholarshipHigher EducationImplicitElitist Author:William A.

“You, that have toiled during youth, to set your son upon higher ground, and to enable him to begin where you left off, do not expect that son to be what you were, - diligent, modest, active, simple in his tastes, fertile in resources. You have put him under quite a different master. Poverty educated you; wealth will educate him. You cannot suppose the result will be the same.” DifferentLeftWealthSimpleResultsPovertyYouthSonMastersHigherTasteResourcesActiveEducatedEducateModestFertileDiligentYour SonHigher Ground Book:Anna Letitia Barbauld: Selected Poetry and Prose Source: Anna Letitia Barbauld: Selected Poetry and Prose

“Do they merit vitriol, even a drop of it? Yes, because they corrupt the young, persuading them that the mature world, which produced Beethoven and Schweitzer, sets an even higher value on the transient anodynes of youth than does youth itself....

“It really did take Billy Lucas's suicide to wake me up to, kind of, the damage of the success of the LGBT civil-rights movement - higher-profile LGBT people - has done to LGBT youth who are trapped out there in those shitholes.

“To the Virgins, To Make much of Time Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a-getting, The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he is to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, And while you may, go marry; For having lost but once your prime, You may for ever tarry.” FirstsMayStillsUseRunningAgeTodayLostHeavenRaceSunBloodWorstDyingYouthFlowerHigherTomorrowSucceedRoseFlyingSettingSettingsFormerGloriousPrimeVirginsLampsBudOld TimeWorst TimesRosebudsRose Buds Author:Robert Herrick
