Della D. Cyrus

  • “They [adolescents] are delinquent because, in addition to their tension over the individual failures of their individual families, they have no real part to play in the life of the world. They are boiling over with vitality and ability which our society does not want or need.”

    • Della D. Cyrus,
    • "What's Wrong With the Family?" in The Atlantic Monthly ()

Della D. Cyrus, U.S. writer

(1912 - 2005)
