Leo Tolstoy
Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies.

We must begin with the right to the alphabet.
Victor Hugo
It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty.

Albert Einstein
I never got a formal education. So my intellect is my common sense. I don't have anything else going for me. And my common sense opens the door to instinct.

Billy Graham

William Butler Yeats
Education is the vaccine for violence.
Edward James Olmos
That's the public-school system all over. They may kick you out, but they never let you down.
Evelyn Waugh
