Benjamin Carson Quotes
If we can take young people who excel at the highest levels, put them on the same kind of pedestal as the all-state basketball player and the all-state football player, and begin to get the same kind of recognition, it will have a profound effect, and we are finding that it does.

Whereas young people become accomplished in geometry and mathematics, and wise within these limits, prudent young people do not seem to be found.

It requires something different, something deeper-a personal confrontation with the wellsprings of our society.

Seamus Heaney
I have been called many things in my life, but if there has been but one constant, one barb, one arrow flung my way time after time, it is the accusation that I am, in essence, nothing more than an escapist. Apparently this is bad, suspect, possibly even un-American.
