Vicariously rapacious...


But this we can know: Ignorance is no asset, and the empty, formless mind is surely a positive liability. Few qualities can be more useful, whatever one's future may hold, than the fortified mind. Parents who cannot see this are shortsighted, misinformed, or vicariously rapacious.
~T. l. Simmons, Climbing Parnassus, p.214
