la Santa Madre Iglesia —dijo por fin, sin volverse—. Tan católica, apostólica y romana que ha terminado traicionando su mensaje original. Con la Reforma perdió la mitad de Europa, y en el siglo XVIII excomulgó a la Razón. Cien años más tarde perdió a los trabajadores, que comprendieron que estaba del lado de los amos y los opresores. En este siglo que termina está perdiendo a la juventud y a las mujeres.

Since they weren't sleepy and nothing had been left unsaid, they began to read poetry to each other, taking turns like children and enjoying it. Bachir had a lovely voice, one that was already that of a man. He knew many poems by heart. He lovingly recited Victor Hugo, with warmth Rimbaud's Le bateau ivre, and poems written by young people going into battle; he then moved on to the poets of liberty - Rimbaud again, Eluard, and Desnos.
~ Assia Djebar
Modernization did not demote the elderly. It demoted the family. It gave people—the young and the old—a way of life with more liberty and control, including the liberty to be less beholden to other generations. The veneration of elders may be gone, but not because it has been replaced by veneration of youth. It's been replaced by veneration of the independent self. *   *   *

Quem investe apenas nos jovens que lhe dão retorno não é digno de ser chamado de educador. Um excelente educador abraça os alienados, atrai os que o decepcionaram, cativa os rebeldes, aposta nos que erram frequentemente, dá o melhor de si para aqueles em que ninguém acedita. Perdas sempre nos acompanharão; o que nos diferencia dos animais é o que fazemos com elas.
~ Augusto Cury
Físicamente, vivimos más tiempo que en el pasado, pero la percepción del tiempo es mucho más rápida. Los meses corren, los años vuelan. Algunos están en la cumbre de su juventud psíquica, pero se miran y descubren que tienen setenta u ochenta años.

Os jovens conhecem cada vez mais o mundo em que estão, mas quase nada sobre o mundo que são. No máximo conhecem a sala de visitas da sua própria personalidade. Quer pior solidão do que esta? O ser humano é um estranho para si mesmo!
