“The teachers unions are the clearest example of a group that has lost its way. Whenever anyone dares to offer a new idea, the unions protest the loudest. Their attitude was memorably expressed by a longtime president of the American Federation of Teachers: He said, quote, 'When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of children.'” WayChildrenSaidIdeasSchoolLostPresidentInterestAttitudeTeacherGroupsExampleOffersUnionsDareDuesProtestNew IdeasRepresentingFederationTeachers Unions Author:Mitt Romney
“A culture-bearing book, like a mule, bears the culture on its back. No one should sit down to write one deliberately. Culture-bearing books appear almost accidentally, like a sudden surge in the stock market. There are books of high quality that are a part of the culture, but that is not the same. They are a part of it. They aren't carrying it anywhere. They may talk about insanity sympathetically, for example, because that's the standard cultural attitude. But they don't carry any suggestion that insanity might be something other than sickness or degeneracy.” ShouldWritingMayBookMightCultureAttitudeQualityExampleBearsStandardsIndependenceInsanitySicknessSuggestionsHigh QualityMules Author:Robert M.

“Recipients of transfers set a bad example for others, including their children, other relatives, and friends, who see that one can receive goods, services, or money from the government without earning them. The onlookers easily adopt an attitude that they, too, are entitled to such transfers.

“Among today's directors I'm of course impressed by Steven Spielberg and Scorsese, and Coppola, even if he seems to have ceased making films, and Steven Soderbergh - they all have something to say, they're passionate, they have an idealistic attitude to the filmmaking process. Soderbergh's Traffic is amazing. Another great couple of examples of the strength of American cinema is American Beauty and Magnolia.” IfsSeemsTodayFilmCoursesProcessAttitudeExampleCoupleDirectorsPassionateCinemaFilmmakingImpressedTrafficIdealisticScorseseMagnolias Author:Ingmar Bergman
