Power, Nita heard her father say behind her. Creation. Forces from before time. This is--this business is for saints, not children! Even saints have to start somewhere, Carl said softly. And it's always been the children who have saved the universe from the previous generation and remade the universe in their own image.
Diane Duane

The issues of the choice between right and wrong has to be an ongoing concern for everybody, at every age. There is no magical point in a human life when anyone is or becomes immune to the second-by-second choice to do right instead of wrong.
Diane Duane
