"But the truth, as I discovered, is that freedom of adulthood is oppressive in a different way. You can do anything, so rebellion has no meaning."

"But when I grew up, I discovered that adults like this game, too, though for a very different reason. They call bribes gifts, for example, and speak of corruption as the cost of doing business. The purpose of renaming actions or concepts in this way is to muddy what is crystal clear, to use ambiguous language in place of a simple word that nobody could misunderstand."

But in their day they were flesh and blood like you and I, and they poured their souls into these paintings for very deep reasons, sometimes spending fortunes on them or even risking their lives.

For the Christmas feels

"Whether we are cancer survivors, patients, or totally healthy individuals, we actually die a little every day, they told her. Each day lived is also another day never to be repeated. Now all we ask is to spend our remaining days with significance."

"Education determines the quality of governance. An investment in education takes a generation to bear fruit. Likewise, countries feel the impact of this disregard for education a generation later. That determines their productivity, the quality of their workforce, their investments, and ultimately their gross domestic product (GDP). A nation's budget line item for education is an investment in its people."

Here's what I learned about popularity: people like you ifyou give them what they want. The question is: Is it what you want?
