(Fielden Hughes, Out of the Air, in the Listener)

People are always talking about "the problem of youth". If there is one - which i take leave to doubt - then it is older people who create it, not the young themselves. Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human begins - people like their elders. There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young man has a glorious future before him and the old man has a splendid future behind him.
