I believe that my children, who are young, will look back on the early years of the 21st century in rather the same way I look back on the middle of the 20th: as a time when seemingly respectable people supported discrimination against Americans simply because those Americans were different from themselves. Jon Meacham
If we get you in the early years of your life and we fill your head with all of the Catholic stories, then it's very hard for you to stop being Catholic. Catholics are Catholics because they like being Catholic. Andrew Greeley
A growing number of young women who have the freedom to decide have decided that career can wait, and the delicious early years of their children's lives can't. Suzanne Fields
