Howard Zinn was magical as a teacher. Witty, irreverent, and wise, he loved what he was teaching and clearly wanted his students to love it, also.

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

Growing up I’ve watched Lewis and aspired to have some of his attributes, mainly his speed. His raw pace is probably the best of everyone on the whole grid, so there are bits you want from different drivers.

I didn’t want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn’t like it. I always wanted to do other things.

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn’t been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that’s really worthwhile.

Writing’s just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.

The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film – whether it’s history, psychology, economics, or architecture – so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn’t going to help you unless you have something to say.

I believe in libraries because most students don’t have any money.

It’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.

I teach children to be winners.

No matter what happens on the field, getting an education makes you a winner.

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.

My music definitely comes from a place of experience. Everything connects to a truth.

All of my writing is God-given.

Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.

Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.

When you walk into my classroom, I’m going to give it to you straight, just like in the real world, because that’s the only way to prepare you for the real world.

Courage is knowing what not to fear.

Basically, I live to do gigs.

Genius without education is like silver in the mine.

I went to see ‚Phantom of the Opera‘ with my grandma and my mom when I was very little. The stage, the voice, the music… Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has been a massive inspiration to me for some time – the storytelling, that deliciously somber undertone in his music.

I’m born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.

Our Creator expects His children everywhere to educate themselves.

How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

I don’t know who I would have been if I never watched MotoGP.

See, ‚A Time to Kill‘ was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

Thought is the wind and knowledge the sail.

I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool.

I don’t have a vast longing for the stage.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.

I’ve made money, and I’ve been ripped off. I’ve had creative freedom, and I’ve been pressured to make hits. I have dealt with diva behavior from crazy musicians, and I have seen genius records by wonderful artists get completely ignored. I love music. I always will.

In poor countries, we still need better ways to measure the effectiveness of the many government workers providing health services. They are the crucial link bringing tools such as vaccines and education to the people who need them most. How well trained are they? Are they showing up to work?

It doesn’t matter if you want to be a teacher, an astronaut, or a reggaeton singer, you need to study.

The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.

We’re all dreamers.

No trace of slavery ought to mix with the studies of the freeborn man. No study, pursued under compulsion, remains rooted in the memory.

Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.

Imagination decides everything.

I always have been an activist for things that were just authentically a part of my life, that I felt connected to.

I got my first computer in the 6th grade or so. As soon as I got it, I was interested in finding out how it worked and how the programs worked and then figuring out how to write programs at just deeper and deeper levels within the system.

I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn’t care what kind of movies I made.

The proper study of mankind is books.

I’m all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.

Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.

One of the things you do when you make a piece of art is you try to make the world you’d rather be in.

‚Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined.

The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That’s one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

My passion is bringing storylines around and constructing a full body of work rather than just a 16-bar verse.

Frivolity is inborn, conceit acquired by education.

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.

What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?

The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.

What I like to do is try to make a difference with the work I do.

A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he’ll never crow. I have seen the light and I’m crowing.
