Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations.

I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.

I would support a devolution of power out of Washington for education, health care, transportation.

It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene.

Illegal immigration costs taxpayers $45 billion a year in health care, education, and incarceration expenses.

The education that prepared me was my general education classes, which I tried to avoid when I was a stupid undergraduate, but which gave me the foundation of general knowledge that makes a career as a writer possible.

My mother is a special education teacher but also an artist, and my father an advertising executive. They are about as wacky as you can get without being alcoholics.

My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

More particularly, having a largely German-oriented education has made me very responsive to 19th-century German literature.

Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system.
