School Life Quotes

His sensitive nature was still smarting under the lashes of an undivided and squalid way of life. His soul was still disquieted and cast down by the dull phenomenon of Dublin. He had emerged from a two years' spell of revery to find himself in the midst of a new scene, every event and figure of which affected him intimately, disheartened him or allured and, whether alluring or disheartening, filled him always with unrest and bitter thoughts. All the leisure which his school life left him was... James Joyce
I don’t think people realise how vital libraries are or what a colossal danger it would be if we were to lose any more. Having had a truncated school life myself, all of my education from the age of 17 has been self-taught. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me. Alan Moore
All through my school life I was appalled by the fact that masters and senior boys were allowed quite literally to wound other boys, and sometimes very severely. Roald Dahl
Anna Chlumsky quote: "My family and school life are important to me."
My family and school life are important to me. Anna Chlumsky
I really don't like to do back-to-back movies. I concentrate on things at home. My family and school life are important to me. I try to do one movie a year. Anna Chlumsky
School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them. Ivan Illich
George Carlin quote: "Life gets really simple once you cut out all the bull shit..."
Life gets really simple once you cut out all the bull shit they teach you in school. George Carlin
Walker Percy quote: "School - You can get all A's and still flunk life."
School - You can get all A's and still flunk life. Walker Percy
School did give me one of the greatest gifts of my life, though. I learned how to read, and for that I remain thankful. I would have died otherwise. As soon as I was able, I read, alone. Under the covers with a flashlight or in my corner of the attic—I sought solace in books. It was from books that I started to get an inkling of the kinds of assholes I was dealing with. I found allies too, in books, characters my age who were going through or had triumphed against the same bullshit. Craig Ferguson
School was the unhappiest time of my life and the worst trick it ever played on me was to pretend that it was the world in miniature. For it hindered me from discovering how lovely and delightful and kind the world can be, and how much of it is intelligible. E. M. Forster
Nicholas Sparks quote: "Life, I've learned, is never fair. If people teach anything in..."
Life, I've learned, is never fair. If people teach anything in school, that should be it. Nicholas Sparks
Nicholas Sparks quote: "Life, I've learned, is never fair. If they teach anything in..."
Life, I've learned, is never fair. If they teach anything in schools, that should be it. Nicholas Sparks
School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages dropped, English and spelling gradually neglected, finally almost completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, fitting nuts and bolts? Ray Bradbury
Hugh Miller quote: "Life itself is a school, and Nature always a fresh study."
Life itself is a school, and Nature always a fresh study. Hugh Miller
Georg Brandes quote: "School is a foretaste of life."
School is a foretaste of life. Georg Brandes
