“For it is one thing for people to tell their stories in their own spaces, and quite another for those stories to be welcomed in this space.”
– Michelle Obama, at poetry night in the East Room of the White House

Ken Robinson, in his TED Talk Do schools kill creativity?:
“I believe our only hope for the future is to adopt a new conception of human ecology, one in which we start to reconstitute our conception of the richness of human capacity. Our education system has mined our minds in the way that we’ve strip-mined the earth, for a particular commodity, and for the future, it won’t serve us. We have to rethink the fundamental principles on which we are educating our children.”
