“I care a lot about people finding their own path, and I think the world’s a better place if we let people figure out their passions and what they’re good at and give them the knowledge and skills to do that, but our education system isn’t designed to do that — it rounds you out and makes you interchangeable with everyone else.”
Todd Rose

“Technology is amazing. We humans are more connected than ever, but sometimes it can disconnect us from people we love most.”
Brad Montague and Robby Novak

Rick Yancey
“I prefer not to call them demons. It demeans their nature.

"But isn't that what they are?"

"We should pity them more than fear them Alfred. They were angels once."

"Yea, but didn't you say they rebelled against God? They got what they deserved."

"Perhaps." He sighed. "Yet do we not all hope and pray that we ourselves escape that we truly deserve? None have fallen as far or as irrevocably as the outcasts of heaven. Did you not find them beautiful." "...They have gazed upon the very face of God, the face they will see no more for all eternity-and so I pity them. Even as I envy them for having seen it.”
Rick Yancey, The Seal of Solomon

“There are lots of times you just have to remember to take brain pictures. These are the moments you absolutely need to experience life, not through a camera or a screen, but directly through your eyeballs. Taking these brain pictures will help you later on in your journey.”
Brad Montague and Robby Novak

“You need to understand something, boy. The world you see outside of you is a reflection of what you have inside of you. If you are one of those people how only sees problems and darkness and despair, then that is all there is ever going to be for you. But if you are one of those people how sees hope, opportunity, and love, then you can make a difference”
Lucy Calkins, Pathways to the Common Core: Accelerating Achievement
