“It's cool because business has no minimum age. If you're 13 years old and you have a great business idea, you don't have to wait until you reach a certain age or until you graduate high school or anything like that. You can be in business right now and be successful at it. Growth takes time, but it's never too early to get started.”

“He wanted to know what the current trends were. What were people reading? What did I think about the decline in reading overall?
I told him that the books aimed at children and teens that were selling were the ones the Ministry of Education had promoted as 鈥榣ibrary recommendations鈥�, and that the decline in reading among children was largely the fault of their parents.
鈥楶arents these days don鈥檛 read books themselves, but they feel they should make their children read. Since they aren鈥檛 readers, they have no idea what to give their children. That鈥檚 why they cling to the recommendations from the Ministry of Education. Those books are all insufferably boring and, as a result, the kids learn to hate books; it鈥檚 a vicious circle, with no end in sight.”

“Kevin's parents had bumped me from my upstairs room, The place where last weak i had read Death In Venice and luxuriated in the tale of a dignified grown-up who died for the love of an indifferent boy my age. That was the sort of power i wanted over a man. And i awakened to the idea that a great world existed in which things happened and people changed, took risks-more, took notice: a world so sensitive, like a grand piano, that even a step or a word could awaken vibrations in its taught strings.”

“Cian: Where the fuck?
Gabriel: Family centre, somewhere around the top floor if the view is anything to go by.
Gabriel: The why is less obvious.
Elijah: Seriously? It鈥檚 clearly a photoshoot. Her father is an Icon with a penchant for aggressive media campaigns. He will see her partly bonded status as an opportunity.
Gabriel: I said it was less obvious, not that it wasn鈥檛 still obvious.
Moses: Stop comparing brain size.
Kilian: Yeah, stop waving your big 鈥� brains around.”

“I don't know if that's love, to need the sensations produced by the body more than the body itself. Not the kiss, but the taste of celery that came after. Not his hands, but the sound of his hands making art. Not the fact that he was here only for this summer, but the fact that I might find reminders of him in surprising places for the rest of my life.”

“Saffy had never been an easy child. Defiant and headstrong, she was born with a will already forged in iron. Nonetheless, I鈥檇 always expected that having a teenager would be a turning point, the part of parenthood where everything got better. Throughout those early years of nappies, teething, tantrums and night terrors I鈥檇 consoled myself by imagining a time when my girls were old enough to be self-sufficient. Maybe then I wouldn鈥檛 be pulled in three different directions, always spinning plates. But Saffy鈥檚 defiance had grown into disrespect and contempt. I felt as though I needed an emotional suit of armour to protect myself from her spiteful comments. She resented every thought, cell, breath, and ounce of me.”

“These kids are growing up faster than we did, have been exposed to more, and are not as naive as we once were. You can see it; this generation is different, and they're tired of the bullshit. The things that tear apart the adults- race, sexual orientation, religion, identity- don't seen to bother them as much, if at all. They're focused on big-picture things, like making sure the Earth doesn't kick us off it.”

“She stuffed her white load into the machine first and opened the package of laundry pods she'd purchased at Walmart.... She removed a pod and inspected the interesting, squishy thing. Last year, some crazy teens had dominated the news after eating pods on a dare. In no way did it look edible. Good old common sense disappeared a bit more with each generation.”

“That's how families were. They looked beautiful and put together at a distance, but upon closer inspection, even beauty had its flaws, and family was never perfect.”

“Everybody hates something,鈥� I retort. 鈥淚 don鈥檛 like lima beans鈥攁m I the Grinch too?鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 not just what you hate; it鈥檚 why you hate it,鈥� Mateo replies seriously. 鈥淚ndiana Jones hates snakes because he鈥檚 afraid of them. Superman hates kryptonite because it鈥檚 his weakness.

“He talks to me about cars, to Barnstorm about sports, and to Mateo about Game of Thrones. He talks to Elaine鈥擨 guess car dealers don鈥檛 worry about being head-butted down stairs or tossed into garbage dumpsters. He talks to Kiana about practically everything. He asks Rahim鈥檚 opinion on the art for new ads for Terranova Motors, and Rahim never so much as yawns when he鈥檚 around.”

“So many gone and never found and no one ever charged. [鈥 The girls outnumbered the boys fifty to one. They varied in appearance but were one and the same. Young. Mostly too young to realize they were birthmarked with targets that only boldened with time, invisible to begin with, taking shape though formative years and burning red hot through puberty and into their teens.”

“Gen Z became the first generation in history to go through puberty with a portal in their pockets that called them away from the people nearby and into an alternative universe that was exciting, addictive, unstable, and- as I will show-unsuitable for children and adolescents. Succeeding socially in that universe required them to devote a large part of their consciousness-perpetually-to managing what became their online brand. This was now necessary to gain acceptance from peers, which is the oxygen of adolescence, and to avoid online shaming, which is the nightmare of adolescence. Gen Z teens got sucked into spending many hours of each day scrolling through the shiny happy posts of friends, acquaintances, and distant influencers.”
