    Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    My opinion is that the Northern states will manage somehow to muddle through.
    John Bright (1811–1889)

    I close my eyes and suck you in like a fire.
    I grow. I grow. I’m fattening out.
    I’m a kid in a rowboat and you’re the sea,
    the salt, you’re every fish of importance.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
