Parents are not interested in justice, they're interested in peace and quiet.

The kids are turned off from politics, they say. Most of 'em don't even want to hear about it. All they want to do these days is lie around on waterbeds and smoke that goddamn marrywanna... yeah, and just between you and me Fred thats probably all for the best.

You have to remember children are not usually very interested in what their parents do for a living.

Young children simply aren't interested in Fermat. They just want to hear a story and they're not going to let you do anything else.

Most people don't even try to get what they want because of the painful reckoning with their parents it entails.

Do not elicit your child's political opinions. He doesn't know any more than you do.

Wishes father thought, but they don't breed evidence.

They don't really care about us.

Parents don't understand cool. Never have. Never will.

They aren't interested in the fact that whenever they kick up dirt, the dirt rubs off on every one of us.

Seemingly, this society wants its children to know nothing; wants its queer children to conform or (and this is not a figure of speech) die; and wants not to know that it is getting what it wants.

It is not right to vex ourselves at things, For they care not about it.

I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.

Kids who have no interest in books are usually from slob parents who themselves had no interest in books.
