Eskay Teel
“Big girls do cry.”
― Eskay Teel, Alice in Worcestershire

“One of the most infuriating elements of American myopia about investing in at-risk kids is that politicians often insist that they don't have the funds to pay for social services, but they somehow find the resources to pay for prisons later on. Republican lawmakers don't want to pay for $500 IUDs for low-income women, so they pay $17,000 for Medicaid births. They don't want to pay to reduce lead poisoning, even though that means paying for special education classes for years to come.”
― Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn
