"I meant to tell you, sir. In your next book I would like it if you said something about the manners of our children. They are God's spies on earth, His specialized creations, but their manners need to be corrected."
"I call them spies because they are so vigilant and so observant. They measure us constantly. They try to find out what the hell we think of them...."
"Mostly, they specialize in making us give them more attention."
- Juan Bautista Castro to Jonathon Kozol, "Amazing Grace", p. 76.
