Human beings are remarkably resilient. When you think about it, our species has been teetering upon the edge of the existential cliff since Hiroshima. In short, we endure.

It’s always been the case that politicians want different things from children than good educators do. Good educators want imaginative, exploratory beings, but politicians just want economic units.

I believe that when you work on yourself, you are attracted by different, more positive beings.

If you’re a human being, you can attempt to do what other human beings have done. We don’t understand talent any more than we understand electricity.
