"Some days you must learn a great deal. But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you to swell up and touch everything. If you never let that happen, then you just accumulate facts, and they begin to rattle around inside of you." - From the Mixed Up Files of Ms. Basil E. Frankweiler

"When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story's voice makes everything its own."
-John Berger

“Think of education
as a garden
where questions
grow.”
Anna Devere Smith

". . . success is not a function of fame or PR, but of hard work and discipline." President Barak Obama

"The future is not a gift. It is an achievement." Robert Kennedy as quoted by President Obama
