A mad world my masters.

Grades don't measure anything other than your relevant obedience to a manager.

There isn't a right way to become educated; there are as many ways as there are fingerprints.

You either learn your way towards writing your own script in life, or you unwittingly become an actor in someone else's script.

One of the first things a family tries to teach its children is the difference between good and evil, right and wrong. One of the first things our schools do is destroy that distinction.

The primary goal of real education is not to deliver facts but to guide students to the truths that will allow them to take responsibility for their lives.

Government schooling is the most radical adventure in history. It kills the family by monopolizing the best times of childhood and by teaching disrespect for home and parents.

You need experience, adventure, and explorations more than you need algebra!

Great power often corrupts virtue; it invariably renders vice more malignant. . . . In proportion as the powers of government increase, both its own character and that of the people becomes worse.

Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist.

Creative work and critical thought, which produces new knowledge, can't be conditioned; indeed, conditioning prevents these things from ever happening.

Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints!

For weeks Tyrone thought he was going to die any minute, and there were also times when he was afraid he wasnt going to die.

The present grows within the boundaries of the past.

I want to work with great filmmakers and great actors and get better as an actor.

I think you have an obligation to share what you know as a writer.

Christianity may be OK between consenting adults in private but should not be taught to young children.

When I conform to truth, I do not conform to an abstract principle; I conform to the nature of God.

If you think too much in the music you are too late.

I am a super-confident writer, and as a joke writer and as an actress, I'm like, 'I want to go head-to-head with every person.' I am an Indian woman and I'm a kind of double minority in this world.

I write fantasy because it's there. I have no other excuse for sitting down for several hours a day indulging my imagination. Daydreaming. Thinking up imaginary people, impossible places.
