“It's better to have nothing,' the children were saying.”

“It's better to have nothing and have everything than if you have everything with nothing”

“Sometimes it's better to leave things as they are, he thought to himself, anddecided to say nothing.”

“Each morning in every family, men, women and children, if they have nothing better to do, tell each other their dreams.We are all at the mercy of the dream and we owe it to ourselves to submit its powers to the waking state.”

“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It's better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they're 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn't have to put them in prisons?”

“All children are precious in the eyes of God. If we want to better humanity...we must try and better the lives of all of it's children first.”
