en We have to look at any and all sources of bringing teachers in. Teach For America has had a lot of success not only in retaining people, but also for being able to turn the performance around of the students they teach.

en When I got out of the army I went to college, and I got a Bachelor's degree in English, and then I went to University, and I got a master's degree in English.

en It's not really science-fiction, ... It's the world 30 years from
now, [a time] in which for 18 years no human child has been born, for unknown
reasons. Civilizations are falling apart. England is the last remaining
civilization as we know it, because it's an island that's insulated itself from
Europe, which is in civil wars and complete pandemonium. So the story takes
place in that context. It's a story about hope and faith.

en I spent several years acquiring the obsessive, day-to-day discipline that's needed if you want to write professionally, then several more, highly valuable years studying fiction writing at the University of Iowa.

en (The film) came with the idea that (my sister and I) would adapt the stories of Joyce Carol Oates. I had read three different short stories of hers. And so what I wanted to do was to find a way to link all of her stories together. It ended up definitely being an adaptation, but also our own sort of overall story.

The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeenth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.
  Philip K. Dick

en That was a sad performance by the Boston University hockey team, ... It was beyond belief how poorly we played in every phase of the game ... It was as bad a performance as we've had since the Lefty Mcfadden Tournament the first two games of the year [5-1 and 7-2 losses to Miami University and the University of Michigan, respectively]. The first two periods looked just like that. We looked like we didn't know what we were doing.

en James Joyce - an essentially private man who wished his total indifference to public notice to be universally recognized.
  Tom Stoppard

en I'm not one of those James Joyce intellectuals who can stand back and look at the whole edifice... It was a slow process for me to just crawl out of it, like a snake leaving his skin behind.

en [Drummond stressed last Saturday's victory over SMRH was] a good team performance with James Henderson, James Janion, Mick Butler, James Easton, David McLean and Mike Leggat all making worthwhile contributions. ... Gordon was the best bowler in the division.

en There are dozens of young poets and fictioneers most of them a little insane in the tradition of James Joyce, who, however insane they may be, have refused to be genteel and traditional and dull.

en I think the stamp collection is important because for whatever reason, I think that our people tend to try to forget our history rather than remember it.
