Education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. . . . Competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be getting six-figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge for its citizens, just like national defense." --Sam Seaborne, West Wing
What man-made machine will ever achieve the complete perfection of even the goose's wing?
The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.
The United States is a big country but unfortunately it seems it has the brain of a little bird not befitting the greatness of the country.
We attain freedom as we let go of whatever does not reflect our magnificence. A bird cannot fly high or far with a stone tied to its back. But release the impediment, and we are free to soar to unprecedented heights.
Every true writer is like a bird; he repeats the same song, the same theme, all his life. For me, this theme as always been revolt.
Joys, which we do not know, we do not wish.
I wish to fill in the gaps which have so far always remained unanswered in the souls of men as burning questions, and which never leave any serious thinker in peace, if he honestly seeks the Truth.
But all my people, the Palestinians and the Arabs, wish me long life and freedom.
Ignorance is bliss. I wish I still had some.
