~By Helen Reddy ~
My Dad died during the flu epidemic in 1918 when I was 4 years old. He left a lot of classical recordings behind that I began listening to at an early age, so he must have been a music lover.
~By Tom Glazer ~
Kermit was the Everyman, the original Tom Hanks, but I have a special place in my heart for Fozzie Bear. The classic borderline hacky entertainer.

~By Curt Weldon ~

~By Clayton Christensen ~
Here, class attendance is expected and students are required to take notes, which they are tested on. What is missing, it seems to me, is the use of knowledge, the practical training.
~By Harrison Salisbury ~
There are only two roads, victory for the working class, freedom, or victory for the fascists which means tyranny. Both combatants know what's in store for the loser.
~By Buenaventura Durruti ~

~By Ben Jackson ~
I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.
~By Ted Nugent ~

~By Michael Zaslow ~
My parents couldn't afford a full time drama school, but I basically just did every class I could do, and followed every drama interest I could. When I was 15 or 16 I did drama courses.

Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.
~By Margaret Mead ~
Architects are pretty much high-class whores. We can turn down projects the way they can turn down some clients, but we've both got to say yes to someone if we want to stay in business.
~By Philip Johnson ~
The fact is if we do our job right, if we keep worrying not about polls but about the jobs of the American people, about their health care, about their ability to educate their kids, stay in their homes and own their homes, send their kids to college, the basic pillars of a middle-class life, if we keep worrying about the future and building a stronger future for this country, these things will take care of themselves.
~By David Axelrod ~
These are classic, perennial ideals we are dealing with.
~By Rob Morrow ~

~By Lesley Garrett ~

~By Kristin Davis ~

~By Ann Landers ~

~By Dannii Minogue ~

~By Sting ~

~By Bob Saget ~

~By Patrick Stewart ~
I like to listen to classical music... I like mainline jazz.
~By Herb Alpert ~

~By Vince Vaughn ~
I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.
~By Frances McDormand ~

~By Pete Townshend ~
There is but one way left to save a classic; to give up revering him and use him for our own salvation.
~By Jose Ortega Y Gasset ~
Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.
~By Gilbert K. Chesterton ~
I was the hero of the young insurgent working class art movement.
~By Elia Kazan ~
The next thing I wrote was in a writing class at night school. It was about a poor woman who worked at a dime store and who was all alone for Christmas in Laurel, Mississippi.
~By Beth Henley ~
There should be a background check every time a firearm is transferred. You shouldn't be able to go to a gun show and buy guns without a background check. There are Internet gun sales, classified ads in the newspapers - and you can buy guns without background checks.
~By Michael D. Barnes ~
Do not suppose, however, that I intend to urge a diet of classics on anybody. I have seen such diets at work. I have known people who have actually read all, or almost all, the guaranteed Hundred Best Books. God save us from reading nothing but the best.
~By Robertson Davies ~

~By Norman MacCaig ~
The black population now consists of two distinct classes-the middle class and the poor.
~By Constance Baker Motley ~
Barack Obama is a truly flabbergasting President. And in a good way - not the way some of his predecessors were. He's not flabberghastly. He's not the student who wears a button that says, 'Smartest kid in class,' but clearly he is, at least when surrounded by the White House press corps.
~By Tom Shale ~
It is one thing to take as a given that approximately 70 percent of an entering high school freshman class will not attend college, but to assign a particular child to a curriculum designed for that 70 percent closes off for that child the opportunity to attend college.
~By James S. Coleman ~
Of course, in the art class, I was the model.
~By Suzanne Farrell ~
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end - people like myself - should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it.

I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half.
~By Jay Gould ~
We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere.
~By Major Owens ~
We can no longer apply the classic criteria to clearly determine whether and when we should use military force. We are waging war in Afghanistan, for example, but it's an asymmetrical war where the enemies are criminals instead of soldiers.
~By Otto Schily ~
It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play.
~By Quincy Jones ~

~By Janos Kadar ~
Although reading the classics in Latin in school may be not as fulfilling as it would be at a more mature age, few scientists can afford the time for such diversion later in life.

~By Ella R. Bloor ~
I take it for granted that you do not wish to hear an echo from the pulpit nor from the theological class-room.
~By Asa Gray ~
You can't rise as a class. You have to rise individually. It's what many of the civil rights-era people don't understand.
~By Alphonso Jackson ~
Productivity is going to be a critical issue. And it's not just about getting more time for professors in the classroom. It involves reexamining the learning experience and restructuring faculty and the use of faculty time.
~By Roy Romer ~
I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part.
~By Kim Weston ~
We can compare classical chess and rapid chess with theatre and cinema - some actors don't like the latter and prefer to work in the theatre.
~By Boris Spassky ~
