Gordon Brown

David Blunkett and I both take the same view that it is scandalous that someone from North Tyneside, Laura Spence, with the best qualifications and who wants to be a doctor, should be turned down by Oxford University using an interview system more reminiscent of the old school network and the old school tie than justice. It is about time for an end to that old Britain where what matters more are the privileges you are born with, rather than the potential you actually have.

Gordon B. Hinckley

Conversations I have had with school principals and students lead me to the same conclusion-that...there is an evil and growing habit of profanity and the use of foul and filthy language.

Herb Ritts

Henry David Thoreau

I realized a school doesn't need a School Committee or Trustees or Governors or lumber or approved textbooks. All a school needs is a mind that sends and minds that receive.

The Universe can be my classroom - the great vast world of the Concord countryside.

There was an Israeli artist who was in grad school with me. I remember trying to get to know him on a more personal level.

I was embarrassed because I was feeling that connection with him, too!
