Famous quotes containing the words jonathan and/or shapiro:

    “There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “In the tight belly of the dead
    Burrow with hungry head
    And inlay maggots like a jewel.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
