[Joanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some of the quotes were great, some way too saccharine, and some flat out irritated me. I felted compelled to look up several of the people quoted, since I had never heard of them before, which helped me learn quite a few new things! Also, clearly I'm a book nerd because one of the quotes led me down a rabbit hole about the origins of the Dewey Decimal system at 10 PM on a Friday night... 😆

It's mostly a book full of quotes from famous people. It's good to read this for teachers who had a bad teaching day.
