• Quote of the day

  • Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
    John Wooden, Basketball coach

    

  • The children appear traumatized. The teachers say that when they hear a loud noise they look to the sky and cry out and weep. They don’t know what the future holds. They deserve better.
    Mia Farrow, after visiting Gaza as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF
