Stephenie Meyer quote: "I've never been to veterinary school."
I've never been to veterinary school. Stephenie Meyer
THERE was a curious social situation in Black Hawk. All the young men felt the attraction of the fine, well-set-up country girls who had come to town to earn a living, and, in nearly every case, to help the father struggle out of debt, or to make it possible for the younger children of the family to go to school. Willa Cather
Margaret Mead quote: "My grandmother wanted me to have an education, so she kept me..."
My grandmother wanted me to have an education, so she kept me out of school. Margaret Mead
You ought to go to a boys' school sometime. Try it sometime," I said. "It's full of phonies, and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to be able to buy a goddam Cadillac some day, and you have to keep making believe you give a damn if the football team loses, and all you do is talk about girls and liquor and sex all day, and everybody sticks together in these dirty little goddam cliques. The guys that are on the basketball team stick together, the Catholics... J. D. Salinger

I couldn't help but think of my mother's most life-altering mistake. Silly and romantic, getting married fresh out of high school to a man she barely knew, then producing me a year later. She'd always promised me that she had no regrets, that I was the best gift hr life had ever given her. Stephenie Meyer
The history of human knowledge has so uninterruptedly shown that to collateral, or incidental, or accidental events we are indebted for the most numerous and most valuable discoveries, that it has at length become necessary, in any prospective view of improvement, to make not only large, but the largest allowances for inventions that shall arise by chance, and quite out of the range of ordinary expectation. It is no longer philosophical to base, upon what has been, a vision of what is to be.... Edgar Allan Poe
Cincinnati is honourably famous for its free schools, of which it has so many that no person's child among its population can, by possibility, want the means of education. Charles Dickens
The whole thing reminds me of graduate school seminars, except these people are smart and funny and have something interesting to say. Sarah Vowell
High school taught me a valuable lesson about glasses: Don't wear them. Contacts have always seemed like too much work, so instead I just squint, figuring that if something is more than ten feet away, I'll just deal with it when I get there. David Sedaris
Suzanne Collins quote: "Somehow it always comes back to coal at school."
Somehow it always comes back to coal at school. Suzanne Collins
I have been criticized throughout the course of my career for placing too much faith in the reliability of children's narratives; but I have almost always found that children are a great deal more reliable in telling us what actually goes on in public school than many of the adult experts who develop policies that shape their destinies. Jonathan Kozol
Ray Bradbury quote: "The home environment can undo a lot you try to do at school."
The home environment can undo a lot you try to do at school. Ray Bradbury
