Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906)
"Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny."
Carl Schurz

Desmond Tutu
"I got to loving to read, because he [Tutu's father] allowed me to read comics, which most people said you shouldn’t let your child read because they will spoil him. But that gave me an extraordinary hunger for reading."
Desmond Tutu
