Children Quote by Darryl Steven Markowitz

“The problem is, we have too many cowardly, spineless, selfish people that would sacrifice their children’s future just to avoid the sacrifice love requires of them in the present. And they expect their children to respect them for that? Do they think we’re idiots just because we’re young?” quote by Darryl Steven Markowitz
