The contrasts between what is spent today to educate a child in the poorest New York City neighborhoods, where teacher salaries are often even lower than the city averages, and spending levels in the wealthiest suburban areas are daunting challenges to any hope New Yorkers might retain that even semblances of fairness still prevail.

I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important, particularly in an uncertain changing world.

Steve Case

I have loved movies as the number one thing in my life so long that I can't ever remember a time when I didn't.

Quentin Tarantino

Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.

Jessica Lange

Anger is seldom without argument but seldom with a good one.

Lord Halifax

In war you can be killed only once. In politics, many times.

Sir Winston Churchill

What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have of the happiness of others.

Proverb

If you're already in a hole, it's no use to continue digging.

Roy W. Walters

Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.

Will Durant

It is a vulgar error that love, a love, to woman is her whole existence; she is born for Truth and Love in their universal energy

Margaret Fuller

Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up by itself.

Woodrow Wilson

It's far too much to say that effective hoping is the only - or even the biggest - part of what it takes to succeed. If 14% of business productivity can be attributed to hope, that means 86% is dependent on raw talent, fickle business cycles, the quality of the product you're selling, and often pure, dumb luck.

Jeffrey Kluger

In magic - and in life - there is only the present moment, the now. You can't measure time the way you measure the distance between two points. 'Time' doesn't pass. We human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present; we're always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better, about the consequences of our actions, and about why we didn't act as we should have. Or else we think about the future, about what we're going to do tomorrow, what precautions we should take, what dangers await us around the next corner, how to avoid what we don't want and how to get what we have always dreamed of.
