So I grew up in a very book-friendly environment and my education as a writer was reading. I think that's the best education. Reading, and taking from the people I admired.

I think that books are fundamentally educational.

I think education is both using and improving knowledge and that changes the whole picture.

Education is paramount in light of so many things that are out there.

I've got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks; it's what children bring into school with them.

I feel there is so much more we can do in improving education, making it accessible and understanding how technology can be a part of the solution.

My focus is mainly on education. I believe education made all the difference for me, and it is certainly going to make all the difference for other children, too.

When it comes down to helping kids, a lot of ways for education to move forward is through music because that's exciting to kids. Reading books and going to a bookstore is not that exciting.

Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.

Education is a way of empowering people; it opens up so many doors and is fundamental to everybody. And teachers are not often appreciated in the way that they should be.
