SPRING 2012 QUOTES WE LOVE
"The future holds all sorts
of “different” we haven’t even thought of yet. The only thing we can control is
our response to that difference. No one belongs here more than you."
––Bonnie Curtis, “Hollywood
Women, A Conversation with Albert Nobbs producers Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn” by Pat McMahon
"Firenze is the Ryan Gosling
of cities––quiet, charming, maybe a little cocky, and impossible not to fall in
love with."
––Kira Shipway, “Places to
Explore: Italy, Heart & Soul”
"There is an indefinable and
deeply American quality––call it Abraham Lincoln’s 'better angels of our
nature'––in building a wooden boat by hand, from scratch, and making a film
about it, on film, over a long, long
period of time."
––Carol Dysinger, “Documentary
Films, The Realist Art”
"So what if the kids can
quote from the 'Dogs of War' monologue or whole chunks of 'Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears,' from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar? By learning the language of Shakespeare, by
internalizing the cadence of iambic pentameter, these children are opening a conduit to what I consider some of the greatest truths, the deepest wisdoms, of
Western culture."
––Liz Mechem Carroll, “Shakespeare Speaks Volumes to Children” by Liz Mechem Carroll & Sarah
Bowers-Peter
"The kids got sponsors to
support their vows to be silent for a full twenty-four hours: they did not
speak, text, email, or Twitter. Their silence made a profound statement about the many children in the world who never have a voice."
––Donna McFarlane, “From
the Global Community”
"The fact is that it was
very hard. But what I found out was that 'hard' pays off, big time. And the biggest surprise is
that “hard” doesn’t have to be miserable."
––Nancy Aronie, “While
We’re on the Subject”
