School Quotes (page 41)

There always comes in September a parched brightness to the air that hits Rabbit two ways, smelling of apples and blackboard dust and marking the return to school and work in earnest, but then again reminding him he's suffered another promotion, taken another step up the stairs that has darkness at the head. John Updike
Authors of light pieces have, nobody knows why, a genius for getting into minor difficulties: they walk into the wrong apartments, they drink furniture polish for stomach bitters, they drive their cars into the prize tulip beds of haughty neighbors, they playfully slap gangsters, mistaking them for old school friends. James Thurber
John Holt quote: "To a very great degree, school is a place where children learn..."
To a very great degree, school is a place where children learn to be stupid. John Holt

[written with Elizabeth Cady Stanton] Susan B. Anthony
Ray Bradbury quote: "There's no use going to school unless your final destination..."
There's no use going to school unless your final destination is the library. Ray Bradbury
You can’t learn to write in college. It’s a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do—and they don’t. They have prejudices. They may like Henry James, but what if you don’t want to write like Henry James? They may like John Irving, for instance, who’s the bore of all time.

J. D. Salinger quote: "I think that once you have a fair idea where you want to go,..."
I think that once you have a fair idea where you want to go, your first move will be to apply yourself in school. J. D. Salinger
The "war" is being fought along the line between sin and righteousness in every family. It is being fought along the line between truth and falsehood in every school... Between justice and injustice in every legislature... Between integrity and corruption in every office... Between love and hate in every ethnic group... Between pride and humility in every sport... Between the beautiful and the ugly in every art... Between right doctrine and wrong doctrine in every church... Between sloth and... John Piper
Most learning is not the result of instruction. It is rather the result of unhampered participation in a meaningful setting. Most people learn best by being "with it," yet school makes them identify their personal, cognitive growth with elaborate planning and manipulation. Ivan Illich
Leon Uris quote: "Like so many creative men of his school he was hounded by an..."
Like so many creative men of his school he was hounded by an incessant restlessness. Leon Uris
A society's competitive advantage will come not from how well its schools teach the multiplication and periodic tables, but from how well they stimulate imagination and creativity. Albert Einstein
I know one thing you don't. I know the difference between Right and Wrong. They didn't teach you that at school.'Rose didn't answer; the woman was quite right: the two words meant nothing to her. Their taste was extinguished by stronger foods--Good and Evil. Graham Greene
