“Most of society is moving toward individualization—in medicine, fashion, entertainment, and many other areas where products and services are tailored and curated for each individual... It makes no sense that education is going in the opposite direction.”
― Brian Hooks Charles Koch, Believe in People: Bottom-Up Solutions for a Top-Down World

“I want you to tell me how you feel even when it's going to upset me to know. I want the whole and honest truth of you. I want the best side of you and the worst—and yes, I know the latter side is exceptionally bad.”
― E.L. Lyons, Starlight Jewel

“We may start to think that the only way to fix thing is to cause a strategic amount of harm to those we may se as our enemies, but... If we rely on violence, we will only create more wounded people who will later seek violence as a form of retribution.”
― Yung Pueblo, Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect With the Present, and Expand the Future

“The key-word here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to believe that black is white, and more, to know that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary. This demands a continuous alteration of the past, made possible by the system of thought which really embraces all the rest, and which is known in Newspeak as doublethink.”
― George Orwell, 1984
