These Kids Today!

Quote of the day:
“How much sickness can even a huge heart take before it becomes sick itself?”
--Mary Gaitskill

Artist quote of the day:
“The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.”
--Robert Motherwell

Two generational observations, first from Francesco Marciuliano in "Sally Forth":

“All kids seem to do today with their free time is go online or play video games. I don’t get it. Back when I was a kid, we actually went outside to have fun. We’d play sports, create our own games, ride bikes or just have great adventures in our own backyard. We actually had experiences, not just some computer simulation.

“And all the while your parents said, ‘I don’t get it. Back when we were kids, we actually went to work and helped our families.’”

Second, from New York financial writer Nancy Miller, from "Barron’s":

“Boomers deem saving for retirement and quitting smoking the most difficult things to do--harder than losing weight or working out.”
