Famous quotes containing the words authentic and/or person:
“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation’s public school system entitled “Savage Inequalities,” Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“This age-old truth I to thee impart
Act according to the dictates of your art
Because if you don’t no one else is going to
And that person isn’t likely to be you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
