If you give kids a language, they can use it. I think that’s what... Jeanette Winterson

In a lot of formats, you can be really experimental and see what would happen. Marguerite Moreau
Black Books adheres to a more old fashioned, traditional sitcom format, which I think works, because in its own way, it's quite theatrical. Dylan Moran
It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organization upon the natural organization of the body. Thomas Huxley
Justin Guarini quote: "Jazz is not the format where I want to stay, but it really is..."
Jazz is not the format where I want to stay, but it really is a starting point for me. Justin Guarini

The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Each social formation, through each of its material activities, exerts its influence upon the civic whole; and each of its ideas and ideals wins also its place and power. Patrick Geddes
If you put a ten dollar bill under the rug instead of spending it, that is capital formation. It represents ten dollars' worth of something that might have been immediately consumed, but wasn't. Garet Garrett
Over the last half century the television interview has given us some of TV's most heart-stopping and memorable moments. On the surface it is a simple format - two people sitting across from one another having a conversation. But underneath it is often a power struggle - a battle for the psychological advantage.
