My mom was really vigorous about making sure that we saw things and that we questioned things. Education was so important to both of my parents.

One of the things that's great about New York is that it is not a one-industry town. It has education academia the service industry arts publishing theater politics fashion finance as well as movie-making.

Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations.

The trouble with people like Tony Blair is they get confused they think intelligence is education when they're two different things.

Since my education I've done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians - certainly when I was there - went to Cambridge. I don't know whether it's the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford because it seemed more of an easy bridge.

This assumption of Negro leadership in the ghetto then must not be confined to matters of religion education and social uplift it must deal with such fundamental forces in life as make these things possible.

The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things not simply repeating what other generations have done.

Positive rights are the right to shelter the right to education the right to health care the right to a living wage. These things are - these are I would call them more properly political rights rather than positive rights. And they are extremely tricky because now we are dealing with things that are zero sum.

We can't get to the $4 trillion in savings that we need by just cutting the 12 percent of the budget that pays for things like medical research and education funding and food inspectors and the weather service. And we can't just do it by making seniors pay more for Medicare.

The truth is in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.

If an ignorant person is attracted by the things of the world that is bad. But if a learned person is thus attracted it is worse.

Books that distribute things... with as daring a freedom as we use in dreams put us on our feet again.

There's a logic to dreams that doesn't necessarily follow linear narrative. You don't know why things happen it's your subconscious pushing you to give you information.

I can think of some things that would be fun but I'm living my dreams.

The name Air Supply sort of came from nowhere. I get a lot of my things in dreams and I just had a dream about it one night and I woke up and said that's just got to be the name. That was in 1975.

I don't remember my dreams. I'm one of those weird people. I know there are tricks and things you can do but I never remember my dreams.

In the year since we brought things into the open with a clean breath of fresh air at City Hall we have learned about corrupt spending practices and unethical conflicts of interest that waste your money... and keep Dallas from being the great city of our dreams.

Real shapes and real patterns are things you would observe in nature like the marks on the back of a cobra's hood or the markings on a fish or a lizard. Imaginary shapes are just that symbols that come to a person in dreams or reveries and are charged with meaning.

One of the things I've started doing lately is tracking my dreams. I feel like there's a lot of information there and you can really bring those emotions to the situations that may feel mundane or familiar. That gives them new life and gives you a new relationship with it - if that makes any sort of sense.

The hoary joke in the literary world based on 'Dreams From My Father ' was that if things had worked out differently for Barack Obama he could have made it as a writer.

We in the majority have worked hard to empower people to create opportunities to make jobs to do things that turn America into a place where people can achieve their dreams.

I'm thinking of slowing down on modeling and branching out to other things. I want to pursue some new and old dreams and start making them happen.

A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say 'Look it's not that tough. It's not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.'

Our dreams are made of real things like a shoebox full of photographs.
