When people get frustrated, it's when they feel they are living in a context that deprives them of dignity, deprives them of justice and deprives them of the freedom to realize their full potential, and that to me is what the Arab awakening was all about. I think it applied to every country, and so I have been an unmitigated supporter of it.

Thomas Friedman

Society is like a schoolmaster who estimates boys according to their conformity to a standard that is easiest for running a school.

Henry Sidgwick

A good, very good, not to say admirable schoolmaster, but then he is only a schoolmaster.

Henry George

I do not see why the schoolmaster should be taxed to support the priest, and not the priest the schoolmaster.

Henry David Thoreau

I play the piano, but I'm not classically trained.

Zaytoven

Communism deprives no man of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labour. The only thing it deprives him of is the ability to enslave others by means of such appropriations.

Karl Marx

I'm quite glad I never learned to play the guitar, because I think I'd write songs that were more classically structured. As it is, I've had to create my own way of writing, which isn't typical. Everything's a big crescendo.

Florence Welch

Gina Gershon

When my kids started preschool, the teachers had to take away all the fake bananas because all the boys would pick them up and pretend that they were guns. Boys find sticks to play swords and anything that looks like a gun to shoot. It's just inside of them. It's who they are.

My joints hurt. I'm slower. But I remember what it was like to run and play with the boys. I want to be one of the boys.

Henry Adams

And the other was this: the doctor did want to take off my leg because he thought it was necessary. But you must remember boys in those days were raised for two things: work, and then they made their play; and if you couldn't play baseball and box and play football, why, your life was ended. That was in our boyish minds.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

I never thought for one second I'd be able to play with a real band. When I was in high school, I went through a lot of bad treatment and was called a lot of names by boys because I wanted to play. Sly was different.
