I think Spike Lee named one of his kids Satchel. I think maybe it was a girl, though?
That wasn't a quote. But this is.
this is absolutely true.Quote:

Success and Failure
"People think success and failure are opposite. They are not. They're companions--the hero and his sidekick." - Lawrence Shames
"Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal." -Mike Ditka
"The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials." - Chinese proverb
"Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently." -Unknown
Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good, and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace. -Eckhart Tolle
“It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.” -- Donald Miller
That's so true.

Is he being funny or does the "three times before lying down" have to do with sleeping around?Quote:

-Adolf Hitler
Boy was he clueless.
I guess he would not consider the invention of Jazz and Rock N' Roll music. And where was his country's love of expressions of human spirit when they decided to terminate Jews, Gays, Gypsies, etc.?
We are reading our first (of two) novels based on the Holocaust in one of my classes. We are also watching Uprising in 20 minute segments every day. Hitler was brilliant and had much luck on his side. He was still a complete moron, though. Fuck him.
As we read our second novel (Night), we will also begin watching segments of The Pianist.
We also do a mini-unit on Religion.
My students NEVER take history lightly after being with me for three years straight.
Louis-- he only loved good German music. Hitler has had some points on things, though... not that I really care. Everyone is right once in a while.
History is great.
I wish I actually taught history class.
