Boarding Quotes

A girl fresh from a boarding school may perhaps be a virgin but no! she is never chaste Picture Quote #1

I was a boarding school product from the age of eight, and I hated it. Though I do have a theory that boarding school is good training for writers because its so desperately lacking in privacy: you make space for yourself by having an interior life Picture Quote #1

I like reading, writing, hiking, camping, free running, surfing, rock climbing, long boarding, and so much more Picture Quote #1

I loved my boarding school, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I didn’t have a career Picture Quote #1

I deliberately went to boarding school. It was my choice. My mum was abroad and I wanted to wean myself off being dependent. It was a very important time for me to be able to create my own individual, independent life; just as a way of growing up Picture Quote #1

I have a theory that if you’ve got the kind of parents who want to send you to boarding school, you’re probably better off at boarding school Picture Quote #1

If we do not let people do things the way they do, we will never know what they are really capable of and they will just follow our boarding school rules Picture Quote #1

My parents divorced when I was seven. Because divorce is messy, for good or ill, they sent me to boarding school Picture Quote #1

You create a world away from home and make new rooms for yourself. But when you arrive back home in your old rooms, the world you’ve made for yourself ceases to be real. Everything seems to crumble. Anyone who’s been sent away to boarding school can understand that Picture Quote #1

I have an addictive personality. Boarding school merely sent me more quickly on the downward spiral that dominated my childhood Picture Quote #1

I’d heard that swimming feels so good when you’re pregnant, and I love being in the ocean. I was even paddle boarding up until 17 weeks, but then my center of gravity and balance were completely off Picture Quote #1

Evil is unintelligible. It is just a thing in itself, like boarding a crowded commuter train wearing only a giant boa constrictor. There is no context which would make it explicable Picture Quote #1

Boarding school didn’t feel like my world, I felt like an alien; people there had a lot of money Picture Quote #1

I was not a classic mother. But my kids were never palmed off to boarding school. So, I didn’t bake cookies. You can buy cookies, but you can’t buy love Picture Quote #1

Besides, I think that when one has been through a boarding school, especially then, you have some resistance, because it was both fine comradeship and a fairly hard training Picture Quote #1

My boarding school experience was the only thing I had strong enough feelings to write about for hundreds and hundreds of pages. I can still smell the formaldehyde of the fetal pigs in biology Picture Quote #1

High school is very intense for everyone. But at a boarding school, because you’re there 24 hours a day, everything gets magnified Picture Quote #1

I went through a period at boarding school when my coaches wanted me to switch to snowboarding because they thought I was no good at skiing. I was too skinny. I had terrible technique. They were saying I should be a snowboarder, and luckily, I resisted Picture Quote #1

I have been a frequent air traveler since I was a few months shy of my sixth birthday, when my parents packed me off to boarding school two plane rides away from home. Those days of being willingly handed from air hostess to air hostess as an ‘unaccompanied minor’ made me blase about the rigors of air travel Picture Quote #1

I was born in Brooklyn, delivered by a Chinese doctor on a table in a boarding house on Sept. 23, 1920 Picture Quote #1

They cut us up like boarding house pie. And that’s real small pieces Picture Quote #1

The boarding school experience in Paris was very hard, I didn't put up with it very well. I was sick all the time, or in any case frail, on the edge of a nervous breakdown Picture Quote #1

I didn’t think of being an artist until after I went away to boarding school. There were other things to be interested in. And it seemed like a nightmare Picture Quote #1

In the middle of my sophomore year, I was sent to boarding school, at the Cranbrook School for boys, in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where I fell in love with Marilyn Monroe. I knew that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and yet she was in pain, in need. She was unhappy. I believed that I could help her Picture Quote #1

I’d heard that swimming feels so good when you’re pregnant, and I love being in the ocean. I was even paddle boarding up until 17 weeks, but then my center of gravity and balance were completely off Picture Quote #1

I’m a war baby: I was brought up with rationing, and my parents always had to struggle. I remember when I was sent to boarding school - Prior Park College in Bath - my father was asked how he was going to pay the fees, and he replied: ‘In arrears.’ Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have boyfriends until my late teens. I was at a girls’ boarding school, and my stepfather disapproved of me going out with anybody. I never really came across any boys. When I did, one of them asked me out, and I was petrified. I felt like a fish out of water, and it was excruciating Picture Quote #1

In 1986, when I was 21, I lived in Tokyo for four months, boarding with a Japanese family and working for an American company Picture Quote #1

Boarding school didn’t feel like my world, I felt like an alien; people there had a lot of money Picture Quote #1

My parents, Mary Agnes Smith and Rowland Smith, both had to work since their early teens, she in the holiday boarding house of her mother and he in his father’s market garden in Marton Moss, a village on the south side of Blackpool, just north of Saint Anne’s-on-Sea Picture Quote #1
