“Your generation has no sense of responsibility to a group, a calling higher than your own. You treat random friends like family and family like strangers. You want to dither your life away, pursuing one pleasure after another. That is not a path; that is a waste of life.”
“I been with strangers all day and they treated me like family. I come in here to family and you treat me like a stranger.”
“Stop looking as if you'd like to toss me from the window. Give me a hug, and go on to your dinner guest.”
