More From Ralph Ellison
- "By and large, the critics and readers gave me an affirmed sense of my identity as a writer. You might know this within yourself, but to have it affirmed by others is of utmost importance. Writing is, after all, a form of communication."
- "Some people are your relatives but others are your ancestors, and you choose the ones you want to have as ancestors. You create yourself out of those values."
More In Education
- "We will invest in our people, quality education, job opportunity, family, neighborhood, and yes, a thing we call America."― Dan Quayle
- "Julia progresses from cradle to grave, showing how government makes every good thing in her life possible. The weak economy, high unemployment, falling wages, rising gas prices, the national debt, the insolvency of entitlements – all these are fictionally assumed away in a cartoon that is produced by a president who wants us to forget about them."― Mitt Romney
- "Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life."― Brigham Young
