    “It’s all sorts of middle-aged white men in suits—forests of middle-aged men in dark suits. All slightly red-faced from eating and drinking too much.”
    —Diane Abbott (b. 1953)

    “We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over.”

    “A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
