Famous quotes containing the words richard and/or austin:

    I’m beginning to believe that Killer Illiteracy ought to rank near heart disease and cancer as one of the leading causes of death among Americans. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you, and so those who can neither read nor write lead miserable lives, like Richard Wright’s character, Bigger Thomas, born dead with no past or future.
    Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    if you ever, ever, dare
    To stop a grizzly bear,
    You will never meet another grizzly bear.
    —Mary Austin (1868–1934)
