Famous quotes containing the word practice:

    The classroom, with all its limitations, remains a location of possibility. In that field of possibility we have the opportunity to labor for freedom, to demand of ourselves and our comrades, an openness of mind and heart that allows us to face reality even as we collectively imagine ways to move beyond boundaries, to transgress. This is education as the practice of freedom.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

    I am out of practice at living.
    You are as brave as a motorcycle.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Kimberly Crenshaw (b. 1959)
