Antonio Iturbe
“Culture isn’t necessary for the survival of mankind; for that, you only need bread and water. It’s also true that with bread and water to drink, humans survive; but with only this, humanity dies. If human beings aren’t deeply moved by beauty, if they don’t close their eyes and activate their imaginations, if they aren’t capable of asking themselves questions and discerning the limits of their ignorance, then they are men or women, but they are not complete persons: nothing significant distinguishes them then from a salmon or a zebra or a musk ox.”

Frans de Waal, Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves

But that’s what good education is all about.”
Alan Gratz, Ban This Book

Pete Buttigieg
“When you are connected to an institution with that strong a name, people use it for a shortcut to understanding who you are, and if you’re not careful, you use it as a shortcut too. Taking on the shape of that name itself over time.”
Pete Buttigieg, Shortest Way Home: One Mayor's Challenge and a Model for America's Future
