• We're growing up with a very illiterate bunch of children who have somehow been taught that film is fact when, in fact, it's invention.

The sooner you treat him as a man, the sooner he will begin to be one; and if you admit him into serious discourses sometimes with you, you will insensibly raise his mind above the usual amusements of youth, and those trifling occupations which it is commonly wasted in.
