I never can hear a crowd of people singing and gesticulating, all together, at an Italian opera, without fancying myself at Athens, listening to that particular tragedy, by Sophocles, in which he introduces a full chorus of turkeys, who set about bewailing the death of Meleager.

The human race was always interesting and we know by its past that it will always continue so, monotonously.

Peter Dinklage

Lisa Leslie

It doesn't matter to me if a man is from Harvard or Sing Sing. We hire the man, not his history.

Leo Tolstoy

My dad was a high school teacher and made no money.

Billy Baldwin

American high school students trail teenagers from 14 European and Asian countries in reading, math and science. We're even trailing France.
