"It is the greatest of all mistakes to begin life with the expectation that it is going to be easy, or with the wish to have it so."

With reference to the younger generation..."If the experience of their exhausted, insomniac, dispirited elders makes them decide they'd prefer not to go straight from the classroom to the cubicle to the coffin, it doesn't mean they're lazy. It means they're sane."
