Schooling Quotes (page 37)

But one thing I have to say about Darcy and dating is this: she never blew us off for a guy. She always put her friends first- which is an amazing thing for a high school girl to do. Emily Giffin
I was proceeding on the dim theory, aside from the innate attractiveness of such words, that if Atticus discovered I had picked them up at school he wouldn't make me go. Harper Lee
What could he say? After the phone calls and the beating. After the desecration of his locker. The silent treatment. Pushed downstairs. What they did to Goober, to Brother Eugene. What guys like Archie and Janza did to the school. What they would do to the world when they left Trinity. Robert Cormier
Jim Rogers quote: "Beware of all politicians everywhere. They excelled at recess..."
Beware of all politicians everywhere. They excelled at recess when they were in school but have excelled at little since. Jim Rogers
There was some enthusiasm for a Caliban village, but it quickly dissipated when people contemplated a future village school and what the mascot might look like. Orson Scott Card
The State did not own men so entirely, even when it could send them to the stake, as it sometimes does now where it can send them to the elementary school. Gilbert K. Chesterton
The average newspaper, especially of the better sort, has the intelligence of a hillbilly evangelist, the courage of a rat, the fairness of a prohibitionist boob-jumper, the information of a high school janitor, the taste of a designer of celluloid valentines, and the honor of a police-station lawyer. H. L. Mencken
Kurt Vonnegut quote: "Roses are red, And ready for plucking, You're sixteen, And..."
Roses are red, And ready for plucking, You're sixteen, And ready for high school. Kurt Vonnegut
The most necessary task of civilization is to teach people how to think. It should be the primary purpose of our public schools. The mind of a child is naturally active, it develops through exercise. Give a child plenty of exercise, for body and brain. The trouble with our way of educating is that it does not give elasticity to the mind. It casts the brain into a mold. It insists that the child must accept. It does not encourage original thought or reasoning, and it lays more stress on memory... Thomas Edison
I regret that I didn’t realize that actually they’ve got no power over you at school — it’s all just a trick to indoctrinate you into being a conditioned, tame, placid citizen. Rebel, children, I urge you, fight the turgid slick of conformity with which they seek to smother your glory. Russell Brand
J. D. Salinger quote: "I know more damn perverts, at schools and all, than anybody..."
I know more damn perverts, at schools and all, than anybody you ever met, and they’re always being perverty when I’m around. J. D. Salinger
I ate apple pie and ice cream—it was getting better as I got deeper into Iowa, the pie bigger, the ice cream richer. There were the most beautiful bevies of girls everywhere I looked in Des Moines that afternoon—they were coming home from high school—but I had no time for thoughts like that…So I rushed past the pretty girls, and the prettiest girls in the world live in Des Moines. Jack Kerouac
Lots of my dying patients say they grow in bounds and leaps, and finish all the unfinished business. But assisting a suicide is cheating them of these lessons, like taking a student out of school before final exams. That's not love, it's projecting your own unfinished business Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
How come people don't do things like that nowadays? You grope around in the back of a sedan in high school and you think you're in love. Nobody gets swept off their feet anymore. Jodi Picoult
I have a question. What if your advice doesn't help me? Do I get my money back?"No, because as soon as you pay me, I run right out and spend it. That's one of the first things they teach you in medical school! Charles M. Schulz
