• Progress has never been a bargain. You have to pay for it. Sometimes I think there's a man who sits behind a counter and says, "All right, you can have a telephone but you lose privacy and the charm of distance. Madam, you may vote but at a price. You lose the right to retreat behind the powder puff or your petticoat. Mister, you may conquer the air but the birds will lose their wonder and the clouds will smell of gasoline."

• Pero parafraseando a Henry Drummond en "Heredar el viento", la ignorancia y la mediocridad están siempre ocupadas, y las fuerzas de la mediocridad no se contentan con ser mediocres; harán todo lo que esté en su mano para impedir que incluso el más humilde de los profesores y los niños consigan algo extraordinario. Porque el buen trabajo hace brillar una luz sobre los fracasos de los mediocres, y esa es una luz que aterroriza a quienes conspiran para mantener a los niños de nuestra nación, como a ellos mismos, ordinarios.

  Rafe Esquith
