George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

Banned Books Bracelets from ALA
In the flat out "just too cool" category, get your Banned Books Bracelets from American Library Association (ALA). They come in two sizes and configurations. Pointer from Free Range Librarian, keeper of all things ALA.
To help raise awareness that books continue to be challenged, ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom is selling bracelets featuring the covers of frequently challenged books. "Adult" and "kids" signify size, although the kids-size bracelet features children's titles, and the adult-size bracelet features adult titles.
These bracelets were designed by Carolyn Forsman, jewelry designer and longtime supporter of the Freedom to Read Foundation.
Adult Bracelet ($18 for one; $15 each for two or more)
Each tile, or book cover, is 3/4" x 1"; the circumference of the bracelet is 6 3/8".
Kids Bracelet ($12 for one; $10 each for two or more)
Each tile, or book cover, is 5/8" x 1/2"; the circumference of the bracelet is 5 1/2".
PLEASE NOTE
If you have trouble reading this form with your browser, or if you prefer to order your bracelets offline, fax the ORDER FORM (PDF) to 312-280-4227, or mail to Office for Intellectual Freedom, American Library Association, 50 East Huron Street, Chicago, IL 60611.
Thank you for your order!
I defiantly want one of these, in fact I will probably get several as gifts. Very cool indeed.
