"We have not taught children to understand that only what we have given, we have. The basic sentence that describes the 21st century is: "I look, therefore I exist." In the 19th it was: "I think, therefore I exist", and in the 20th it is: "I have, therefore I exist." The 21st century hurts me, because people somehow fail. I love language and speech, it is the greatest human achievement in development. I'm comforted that not everything will collapse while there are fantastic people who make us better than we are."
