“As for you, you鈥檙e a parson,鈥� he muttered; 鈥榶ou did well; a parson鈥檚 a very happy man. The calling absorbs you, eh? And so you鈥檝e taken to the good path. Well! you would never have been satisfied otherwise. Your relatives, starting like you, have done a deal of evil, and still they are unsatisfied. It鈥檚 all logically perfect, my lad. A priest completes the family. Besides, it was inevitable. Our blood was bound to run to that. So much the better for you; you have had the most luck.”

“They feel that if I have any kind of life at all, I am going to enjoy it as best I can because I may not be here tomorrow. This is what the youth of America is crying today. They also feel that if my education is going to only bring me a diploma, that I will not even have a job waiting for me afterwards, why should I even try to get a diploma? There are boys now that I know across this nation who feel it does not pay to be a good guy today, 鈥淲hy should I be a good guy? If I am a bad guy, I get thrown in jail and I have a record or the Government is going to take care of me.”
