Sherrilyn KenyonWe could encourage the best qualities of youthfulness - curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight simply by being more flexible about time, texts, and tests, by introducing kids into truly competent adults, and by giving each student what autonomy he or she needs in order to take a risk every now and then.

Kevin J. AndersonI spent most of my teen years trying to figure out the rules of life, theories for why things happened, why people behaved as they did, and mostly I came to the conclusion that either there were no rules, or the rules sucked.

Stephen ColbertNo episode is a priori condemned to remain an episode forever, for every event, no matter how trivial, conceals within itself the possibility of sooner or later becoming the cause of other events and thus changing into a story or an adventure.

Marianne WilliamsonBetter mendacities Than the classics in paraphrase!

So I thought, โOkay, letโs just see what happens if I allow that to unfold.โ
