Quote by Eric Liu

Here's a proposal, offered only partly in jest: no resident of the United States, whether born here or abroad, should get to be a citizen until age 18, at which time each such resident has to take a test.

Here's a proposal, offered only partly in jest: no resident

Summary

The quote proposes a somewhat humorous idea suggesting that no one, regardless of their place of birth or nationality, should be granted citizenship in the United States until they reach the age of 18. At this point, they would be required to take a test. The suggestion implies that this test would assess the individual's knowledge or preparedness for obtaining citizenship rights. However, it should be understood as a playful comment and not a serious proposal for immigration or citizenship policy.

If there is a species which is more maltreated than children

If there is a species which is more maltreated than children, then it must be their toys, which they handle in an incredibly off-hand manner. Toys are thus the end point in that long chain in which all the conditions of despotic high-handedness are in play which enchain beings one to another, from one species to another --cruel divinities to their sacrificial victims, from masters to slaves, from adults to children, and from children to their objects.
