Richard Dawkins

Arbitrary benchmarks cheat kids out of a fulfilling education.

James Dyson

Olympia Dukakis

Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife! To all the sensual world proclaim,One crowded hour of glorious life Is worth an age without a name.

Sir Walter Scott, Old Mortality.

He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign.

Victor Hugo

I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.

Anatole France
