"The power of imagination makes us infinite." - John Muir
About John Muir
American naturalist John Muir is remembered as a passionate champion of the natural wonder of Yosemite; he was instrumental in turning the land into a national park.

"Reading is important -- read between the lines. Don't swallow everything." - Gwendolyn Brooks
About Gwendolyn Brooks
In 1950 poet Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African-American awarded a Pulitzer Prize. She was born in 1917 in Kansas and grew up in Chicago. Her poetry often evokes the environment of Chicago's tough South Side neighborhood. In later years her work became more overtly political, though she continued to combine an understanding of traditional forms like sonnets and ballads with the rhythm of the blues and experimental verse. She died in 2000.
