Quote by Smith, Barry

"The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate 'apparently ordinary' people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people."

"We are not makers of history. We are made by history."

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do."

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
