They want things with greater depth than you think they do. Teenagers have got a lot of soul that adults have forgotten they have within themselves.

It is impossible to talk of respect for students for the dignity that is in the process of coming to be, for the identities that are in the process of construction, without taking into consideration the conditions in which they are living and the importance of the knowledge derived from life experience, which they bring with them to school.

And some want things a lot worse than they want love.

Even the best critical writing on Emily Dickinson underestimates her. She is frightening. To come to her directly from Dante, Spenser, Blake, and Baudelaire is to find her sadomasochism obvious and flagrant. Birds, bees, and amputated hands are the dizzy stuff of this poetry.

Give yourself more security than you need today. When the unexpected happens, you'll be glad you did.
