“Think before you speak. Read before you think. This will give you something to think about that you didn’t make up yourself – a wise move at any age, but most especially at seventeen, when you are in the greatest danger of coming to annoying conclusions.” Fran Lebowitz

Allan Showalter

From the Tips for Teen section of Social Studies by Fran Lebowitz

We recently watched Pretend It’s a City, the seven-part Fran Lebowitz Netflix series. This experience was just as stimulating as serendipitously discovering her books, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies four decades ago. If you haven’t read these volumes, you are missing a treat.
