Famous quotes containing the words life and/or education:
“All I know is that first, youve got to get mad. Youve got to say, Im a human being, goddamn it, my life has value. So I want you to get up now, I want all of you to get up out of your
chairs. I want you to get up right now, and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, Im as mad as hell, and Im not going to take it anymore.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (19231981)
“Do we honestly believe that hopeless kids growing up under the harsh new rules will turn out to be chaste, studious, responsible adults? On the contrary, by limiting welfare, job training, education and nutritious food, wont we plant the seeds for another bumper crop of out-of-wedlock moms, deadbeat dads and worse?”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
