“Between old and young there should be consideration and respect.”

“Where there is not community, trust, respect, ethical behavior are difficult for the young to learn and for the old to maintain.”

“I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these twenty years at least.”

“There was a mysterious chasm between this island and the greater world, just like there was between old and young, ancient and new.”

“The Canarsie People said the knowing belongs to the old and wise, but the unfolding is in the keeping of the young. The old prevent the young from straying off the path of wisdom. The young yearn after the path of dreams. Between the two there is truth.”

“You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least.”
