"Society prizes a girl for being thin more than anything else she might bring to the table." ― Arabella Weir Topic(s): Society More From Arabella Weir "There is so much that is positive, wonderful even, about state schools. At a state school your kids will learn to live alongside and appreciate other kids from many diverse and different cultures." "If you have any power at all from being popular, then you have a duty to help people out." "Success, in whatever form it takes, is a tricky thing – once you’ve achieved your goal, then what? Where do you aim?"

It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions."― Ronald Reagan "I started ‘Society’s Child’ on a bus in East Orange as I was going home from school. I saw a black and white couple sitting there and started thinking about it."― Janis Ian
