-Gemze De Lapp, NYTB Post-Performance Talkback 2007
“I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint. ”
-Hesiod 7th Century BC
