Opinions are very easily heard in our media and technology-type of world that we're in. I just try to stay focused on the people that I'm around every day that I work with, that I trust and value.

A kid in an abusive home has far fewer rights than any POW. There is no Geneva Convention for kids.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Children in abusive environments lack the protections afforded to prisoners of war, highlighting a serious injustice.
This quote emphasizes the vulnerability of children who suffer abuse at home, suggesting that they receive fewer rights and protections than even prisoners of war, which is a damning commentary on society's neglect of child welfare. It underscores the reality that while international laws exist to protect the rights of prisoners, there are no comparable protections for children who endure abuse within their own families, calling for greater awareness and action to address this critical issue.

The source of sexual power is curiosity, passion. You are watching its little flame die of asphyxiation. Sex does not thrive on monotony. Without feeling, inventions, moods, no surprises in bed. Sex must be mixed with tears, laughter, words, promises, scenes, jealousy, envy, all of the spices of fear, foreign travel, new faces, novels, stories, dreams, fantasies, music, dancing, opium, wine.

The beggarly question of parentage--what is it, after all? What does it matter, when you come to think of it, whether a child is yours by blood or not? All the little ones of our time are collectively the children of us adults of the time, and entitled to our general care. That excessive regard of parents for their own children, and their dislike of other people's, is, like class-feeling, patriotism, save-your-own-soul-ism, and other virtues, a mean exclusiveness at bottom.
