The pervasive attitude is that it's crazy to invite more danger into your life.

Your parents were always trying to get you to be careful when you were a kid, and that's all pervasive in this society.

Everybody has something to bring to the table.

We have a society that's trying to make sure that nobody gets any adventures because adventures are dangerous and danger is bad.

Bicycles are almost as good as guitars for meeting girls.

What if all tomorrow brings is ashes and glass, and I can't tell you child, 'this too shall pass.' If all the world were windswept, cold and gray. And in the end there's nothing left to say.

The rule is not written anywhere, it's not etched in any  -  but, I mean, that's the prevailing attitude of this entire society. Don't have an adventure.
