Malcolm X
“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”
Malcolm X

Charles Darwin
“Nevertheless it is probable that the hearing rather early in life such views maintained and praised may have favoured my upholding them under a different form in my 'Origin of Species.”
Charles Darwin, The Autobiography of Charles Darwin

Aldous Huxley
“Deprived of their newspapers or a novel, reading-addicts will fall back onto cookery books, on the literature which is wrapped around bottles of patent medicine, on those instructions for keeping the contents crisp which are printed on the outside of boxes of breakfast cereals. On anything.”
Aldous Huxley, Olive Tree

William Makepeace Thackeray
“A woman may possess the wisdom and chastity of Minerva, and we give no heed to her, if she has a plain face. What folly will not a pair of bright eyes make pardonable? What dullness may not red lips are sweet accents render pleasant? And so, with their usual sense of justice, ladies argue that because a woman is handsome, therefore she is a fool. O ladies, ladies! there are some of you who are neither handsome nor wise. ”
William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair

Kathryn Stockett
“I'm tired of the rules," I say.”
Kathryn Stockett, The Help
