“She (my mother) could still recite them (the poems) in full when she was lying helpless and nearly blind, in her bed, an old lady.

Kamand Kojouri“People nowadays talk about the world's problems like they're reading lines off a teleprompter. They recite what they're told and echo it without thinking.

David Novak“No matter how you were taught by your teacher about how to recite a poem, it is impossible to wear your teacher's smiling face to the stage. You got to put on that smile.”
