Expression and Suppression.

Youth and age are age-old enemies because youth demands expression and age commands suppression, and suppression is as unnatural as a nightwatchman in bed or a deep-sea diver in a bathing suit. No doubt “mother knows best”—for mother's sake, and father knows second of best—for peace sake, but youth, like the ancient mariner, prefers to risk the rock of rages in the stormy sea of solution rather than learn its longitudes and platitudes from the book of parental jogg-raphy.
