great trying
We're not trying to make great athletes. We're trying to make great people.
interact quicker teachers
This is a whole different kind of program. They interact with teachers quicker and interact with the kids.
creative brain together
I find that the creative side of my brain and the archival side of my brain don't work well together. When I've done my best work, I've been in a trance-like state.
optimism coats pessimist
I'm a pessimist, but I have many painstakingly applied coats of optimism.
couple years long
The people who seem to have a lock on power get swept out in a couple of years. So it's naïve to keep swinging at the same targets over and over. It took me a long time to realize, but most of the shackles that I flailed against were just illusory.

I tend to look at the world more from Voltaire's perspective. Incidentally, if you haven't read Candide lately, it's a fabulous book. It's riotously, laugh-out-loud funny in a way that no Shakespeare comedy will ever be.
