Anything worth knowing

“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“Everyone must dream. We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming - well, that's like saying you can never change your fate. Isn't that true?” 

- Amy Tan

# 13 - The Faces Project

"We must teach our girls that if they speak their mind, they can create the world they want to see."

- Robyn Silverman

# 11 : The Faces Project

"Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care about to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you."

Wayne Dyer

# 8- The Faces Project

"The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn."

John Lubbock

# 5 : The Faces Project

"Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women."

Nora Ephron

F is for Frank, Anne Frank

"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really 
good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation 
consisting of confusion, misery and death."
Anne Frank

600,000 girls go missing in India every year- aborted before they are born; killed at childbirth; abandoned in infancy, allowed to die of mal-nourishment or lack of timely medical care.

As a part of A-Z Challenge, the blog will host a photograph of a woman who survived, along with a quote by a famous (or not so famous) woman. 

B is for Baez, Joan Baez

"I've never had a humble opinion. If you've got an opinion, 
why be humble about it?"
Joan Baez

...a lesson for a day...

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, 

he will continue the learning process as long as he lives."

~ Clay P. Bedford

...a much greater hunger...

"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat."
Mother Teresa

.... educate a woman....

"Educate a man and you educate one person. Educate a woman and you educate the whole family."
Jawaharlal Nehru

Brick in the Wall

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey teacher leave us kids alone
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

~Roger Waters

the best judge

"The best judge of whether or not a country is going to develop is how it treats its women. If it's educating its girls, if women have equal rights, that country is going to move forward. But if women are oppressed and abused and illiterate, then they're going to fall behind."
~ Barack Obama

The teacher...

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

~ William Arthur Ward

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
