I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.

My secret agenda is to convey my values to my kids.

But love may have to be left off the exam. Most of us will never learn.

And I’m not confused about the lack of, or the need for, imagination in low or high places. We could do better we must do better. There are far worse things to drop on people than crayolas.

It wasn’t in books. It wasn’t in a church. What I needed to know was out there in the world.

Now everybody has some secret goals in life.

All I ever needed to know I learned in kindergarten. Share everything ... Don't hit people ... Clean up your own mess.
