Quote by Alanis Morissette

I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.

Summary

The quote reflects the belief that exposing young individuals to the public eye constitutes child abuse. Society's emphasis on wealth, fame, and power comes at the expense of their well-being.

The quote emphasizes the potential negative effects on a child's growth and highlights the crucial importance of allowing them to develop naturally without outside pressures.

That time of year thou mayst in me beholdWhen yellow leaves,

That time of year thou mayst in me beholdWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hangUpon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.In me thou seest the twilight of such dayAs after sunset fadeth in the west,Which by and by black night doth take away,Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.In me thou see'st the glowing of such fireThat on the ashes of his youth doth lie,As the death-bed whereon it must expireConsumed with that which it was nourish'd by.This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

But he understood at last what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him. It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew , thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, that there was all the difference in the world.
