It is easy to be tolerant of the principles of other people if you have none of your own.

Forty years ago this country went down a rabbit hole in Vietnam and millions died. I fear we're going down a rabbit hole once again - and if people can stop and think and reflect on some of the ideas and issues in this movie, perhaps I've done some damn good here!

Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit.

Edward R. Murrow

There are so many charlatans in the world of education. They teach for a couple of years, come up with a few clever slogans, build their websites, and hit the lecture circuit. In this fast-food-society, simple solutions to complex problems are embraced far too often. We can do better. I hope that people who read this book realize that true excellence takes sacrifice, mistakes, and enormous amounts of effort. After all, there are no shortcuts.

Henry Miller

The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.

He who knows best knows how little he knows.
