3 December 2020 Bo Jackson I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will – that’s just the bottom line.
3 December 2020 Steven Spielberg Documentaries are the first line of education, and the second line of education is dramatization, such as ‘The Pacific’.
3 December 2020 Jean Rostand A body of work such as Pasteur’s is inconceivable in our time: no man would be given a chance to create a whole science. Nowadays a path is scarcely opened up when the crowd begins to pour in.
3 December 2020 Chloe Moretz My mom’s the one I look up to for everything. I feel like I’m a lump of clay and she’s moulding me into a woman.
