“The family meal is the nursery of democracy.”
Context: It's [a kitchen/dining table] where we teach our children the manners they need to get along in society. We teach them how to share. To take turns. To argue without fighting and insulting other people. They learn the art of adult conversation. The family meal is the nursery of democracy.
“And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,
How oft! I bless the Lot, that made me love you.”
"The Presence of Love" (1807), lines 10-11
“For politics is not like the nursery; in politics obedience and support are the same.”

Context: Look up here, I’m in heaven
I’ve got scars that can’t be seen
I’ve got drama, can’t be stolen
Everybody knows me now Look up here, man, I’m in danger
I’ve got nothing left to lose
I’m so high it makes my brain whirl
Dropped my cell phone down below Ain’t that just like me
