Anne Carson

There are different gradations of personhood in different poems. Some of them seem far away from me and some up close, and the up-close ones generally don't say what I want them to say.

Canadian Poet

Sam Kean

Anyone who has passed though the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.

Tyranny or slavery, born of selfishness, are the two educational methods of parents; all gradations of tyranny or slavery.
