Summary

This quote highlights the ignorance and arrogance of youth due to lack of experience or awareness of the potential negative outcomes. It uses the analogy of a turkey that regularly approaches a farmer for food, oblivious to the fact that it is being fattened up for Thanksgiving. The quote suggests that the turkey is not to blame for its actions, as it simply lacks the knowledge of the consequences awaiting it. Similarly, young people often exhibit arrogance because they have yet to face the harsh realities and consequences of life.

Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid

Tradition! We scarcely know the word anymore. We are afraid to be either proud of our ancestors or ashamed of them. We cling to a bourgeois mediocrity which would make it appear we are all Americans, made in the image and likeness of George Washington.

We can search the world over, for peace, for love, and honor

We can search the world over, for peace, for love, and honor. We can look from now to eternity, for all we do not own. We can search until life is ending, then when life is nearly ore. We find we had what we needed, only now, its too hard to bear.
