"Evolution is not a genetically controlled distortion of one adult form into another; it is a genetically controlled alteration in a developmental program."

Previous Quote

To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision. Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity. It becomes easier to die and avoid conflict than to maintain a constant battle with the superior forces of maturity.
