Old people should be heard but not seen. Young people should be seen, not heard.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I would say that we are living in an age that is increasingly spiritually blind and morally deaf. The man who does not shout is not going to be heard.
There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive.
Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.
None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see.
I think music should be experienced by people all ages.
Most young people have tremendous respect for older people's views.
I think television often has dismissed younger people. They figure, well, they're not really watching news, that's not our audience.
I think old people should just be old and go away.
I think it's fantastic when the young enrage their elders. I really do believe that if it's too loud, you are indeed too old, and that if it has been standing for too long, it needs a thorough inspection.
Young men, hear an old man to whom old men hearkened when he was young.
