Eighth Grade Quotes

Eighth grade's a distant rumor, a tabled issue, and Dylan knows from experience that the summer between might change anything, everything. He and Mingus Rude too and even Arthur Lomb for that matter are released from the paint-by-numbers page of their schooldays, from their preformatted roles as truant or victim, freed to an unspoiled summer, that inviting medium for doodling in self-transformation. Jonathan Lethem
I think by eighth grade I knew I wanted to be an actor. I'd done church plays and stuff, but my first actual acting class was in eighth grade. I was obsessed with it. Aaron Paul
She had observed that the more education they got, the less they could do. Their father had gone to a one-room schoolhouse through the eighth grade and he could do anything. Flannery O'Connor
I remember one English teacher in the eighth grade, Florence Schrack, whose husband also taught at the high school. I thought what she said made sense, and she parsed sentences on the blackboard and gave me, I'd like to think, some sense of English grammar and that there is a grammar, that those commas serve a purpose and that a sentence has a logic, that you can break it down. I've tried not to forget those lessons, and to treat the English language with respect as a kind of intricate tool. John Updike
I knew I was different when I was about six years of age but I just knew that I wasn't like everybody else. I mean I wasn't like the other kids. I didn't know what that was. But I guess it was when I was in seventh or eighth grade, I'm like, 'Hey, something's wrong here.' James McGreevey
My dad had an eighth grade education, and everything that he did in his life was just stuff that he went out and did - figured out what he needed to know and read. Very successful, a union contractor. Mitch Pileggi
Thomas Perry quote: "I had been writing fiction since I was in eighth grade,..."
I had been writing fiction since I was in eighth grade, because I loved it. Thomas Perry
I was always a clown. In the eighth grade I won a city speech contest by doing an Eddie Murphy routine. I'm no good at public speaking, but if I can assume a role and speak as that person, then I'm fine. When I had to give a book report, I always did it in character. Jason Wiles
Kristen Wiig quote: "I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and..."
I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and then my high-school years were in Rochester, New York. Kristen Wiig
Jeremy London quote: "Before the eighth grade, I probably went to seven or eight..."
Before the eighth grade, I probably went to seven or eight different schools. Jeremy London
Tia Carrere quote: "I kind of fell into acting, but I have sung and trained since..."
I kind of fell into acting, but I have sung and trained since I was in the eighth grade. Tia Carrere
Everywhere you look, there is a charity or a project in school to get involved in. In eighth grade, there was this program called CJSF, California Junior Scholarship Foundation. We were involved in soup kitchens and toy drives, and your school can set up something like that. If your school doesn't have a program like that, set one up. Lindsey Shaw
