— Robert Kennedy
I credit Kansas City with my work ethic and learning from the amazing artists that are in that town.
— Katherine McNamara

— Cornel West

— Benjamin Watson
I learned to dive in Belize, which is sort of like learning to drive in an Aston Martin. The reefs and refuges are some of the most dramatic in the world. But the real reason I went was to dive the Blue Hole, a 400 ft. sinkhole near Ambergris Caye. Google it, and you'll see why.
— Marcus Sakey

— Adria Arjona
I went to work in accounting at Arthur Andersen. At one point, it was the creme de la creme. I wanted to work there because it looked like the hardest thing I could find, and I loved being on a steep learning curve. I progressed quickly, and two years out of college, I was managing a small team of people.
— Lynn Good

— Marilyn Ferguson
Many institutions of higher learning will grant an 18- to 30-month deferral to prospective missionaries.

— Marco Rubio

What are we empathizing to?'
— Brie Larson
I just really like learning. I have to keep using my brain; otherwise, I get depressed.

— Brie Larson
