“If we all understood we can learn from both older and younger people, then we’d have a better world.”

Everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger.

I would say that kids are great in many ways.

The traits the word ‘childish’ addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age.

To show that you truly care, you listen.

Rather than us trying to change girls in order to fit into the common mold of what we think a CEO looks like.

The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been.

Learning between grown-ups and kids should be reciprocal.

Due to the fact that we are not jaded or cynical.

The point of my work is to make it clear that all youth can make ‘big miracles’ happen.

No matter your position or place in life.

I taught my first class at a local elementary school the year my first book, ‘Flying Fingers,’ debuted.

Not just for me, but for everyone.

But I think it’s very important to tell children that you can read for fun, too, and to understand human spirit. It builds empathy.

My family joke that I’m really a very senior person who accidentally happens to be 11.

Male and female have the power to fuse into one solid, both because both are nourished in both and because soul is the same thing in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.

But the self-controlled man, moving among objects, with his senses under restraint, and free from both attraction and repulsion, attains peace.

Clearly, either in the Soul alone, or in the Soul as employing the body, or in some third entity deriving from both. And for this third entity, again, there are two possible modes: it might be either a blend or a distinct form due to the blending.

I’m against any religion, and Communism and Nazism – they’re both equally religions. They’re just replacement gods.

Judd Apatow is pretty good, both as a producer and as a director.

Bottom trawling is a ghastly process that brings untold damage to sea beds that support ocean life.

These men both publicly and privately have done so much for me. Without Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick I would be living in a little motel just around the corner here, trying to make ends meet.

Covetousness is both the beginning and the end of the devil’s alphabet – the first vice in corrupt nature that moves, and the last which dies.
