College Quotes

Through my college years, topping that ridge had always given me a great sense of being home, but time had diminished the emotion and I had begun to suspect that home was less a place than an empty page Picture Quote #1

While I had been, I guess, quite brilliant, academically, in my college years, I also had been editor of the paper, and I loved that. And, that was a much more active thing. And I missed it when I was doing graduate work Picture Quote #1

The generation I grew up in was the beginning of stand up for yourself, whether being a singer-songwriter or a feminist. In my college years, the feminist movement was really coming to fore, so we wouldn’t have put up with guys treating us less than equal Picture Quote #1

As a songwriter, I do kind of look at ‘Santa Monica’ as a thing outside of itself, because it isn’t just my song. This is a song a lot of people tell me is a part of their high school or college years. That means a lot to me Picture Quote #1

I’d have to say that Nixon feels like the public figure who most dominated my life - from the time I went to fourth grade wearing a Nixon-Lodge button in the fall of 1960, through my college years, which overlapped with Kent State, Cambodia, the China trip and all the rest Picture Quote #1

I was lucky I went to school in London because the tutors could see what to do. I knew I wanted to do something different. Why would I want to do what other people were already doing, because they would always do it better? I always wanted to work around the body. So throughout my college years, my work was quite free Picture Quote #1

I was absolutely floored as a lot of people are but also I was reunited with ideas that I actually had as a teenager and these are ideas that I had put away as I approached college years because they were ridiculous on the face of it and when you talk to someone about living forever, they just dismiss you out of hand Picture Quote #1

I was born in Evanston, Illinois. I spent my elementary and part of my junior high school years in a D.C. suburb. And then I spent my high school years in Minnesota. And then I spent my college years in Colorado. And then I spent some time living in China. And then I spent three years in Vermont before moving down to Nashville Picture Quote #1

Friday Night Lights’ was kind of like my college years because I did four seasons of that. It was my first series. It was the most time I had with one character, and kind of growing and evolving with the character over that long of a span of time, it just allows you to sort of learn in a completely different way that I had never experienced Picture Quote #1

I’d been going to college for nine years, and before I completed my dissertation, I quit Picture Quote #1

It ended up taking eight years to finish college because I got deployed and went overseas Picture Quote #1

In college, I stopped doing pre-med and went into theater, and then I moved to San Francisco and lived there for five years Picture Quote #1

I graduated college in 1983, so that’s 32 years, and all I’ve done for a living is act or commercials or voiceovers. So I have nothing to complain about Picture Quote #1

Put simply, what I’d like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody’s who is willing to work for it Picture Quote #1

In actual fact, I have been an academic - a college and university teacher and scholar - for much of the last 45 years, and only rarely a writer Picture Quote #1

I wanted to find ways for colleges and universities to become involved with public schools to help young people prepare for college Picture Quote #1

We need a movement that says in a highly competitive global economy all of our kids who have the ability, the qualifications and the desire, will be able to get a college education regardless of income because we will make public colleges and universities tuition free Picture Quote #1

A few years ago, Tor Wager, a neuroscientist at Columbia University, wanted to figure out why placebos were so effective. His experiment was brutally straightforward: he gave college students electric shocks while they were stuck in an fMRI machine. (The subjects were well compensated, at least by undergraduate standards.) Picture Quote #1

I’m not good at narrative; I’m really a gag writer, and that comes from being in the newspaper comic strip world for a while in college. What I do is I just write tons of jokes, then I sort them out in terms of quality and then pick the best of the jokes and then try to form them into a plot. If I get a good theme going, I feel lucky Picture Quote #1

I went to Duke, which is... a Top Five school. Not community college. But whatever Picture Quote #1

You know, you just know, that after the president goes out there and announces he wants to make community college free for all Americans - as though anything government does is ‘free’ - or is unilaterally and unconstitutionally legalizing millions of undocumented immigrants, he comes back to the offices, pulls out the presidential BlackBerry, and gleefully follows along as the Right goes completely ape over these wild policy decisions Picture Quote #1

I went to community college for about a year but I’d started taking music seriously by then so I dropped out Picture Quote #1

I think that racism has gotten more subtle, and it’s not even racism anymore: it’s placism. Like where you live or whether you went to community college or Harvard, and it exists within the race Picture Quote #1

While I was at community college, I studied industrial design because I thought maybe I’d be an automotive designer - I grew up in Detroit - and I also studied, geology because I was interested in science, a little bit Picture Quote #1

I worked at a movie theater in Tempe, Arizona, when I went to community college there. And I got fired because a sorority had rented out a theater to watch ‘Titanic,’ and they were being really rude to me while they were waiting for the movie. So as I tore their tickets, I told them the end of the movie Picture Quote #1

Community college is like a disco with books: Here’s ten dollars; let me get my learn on! Picture Quote #1

I’ve been really impressed at some of the investments that I’ve seen in community college and technical schools that are training young people for these jobs in 3D printing and the like Picture Quote #1

My mother was a great typist. She said she loved to type because it gave her time to think. She was a secretary for an insurance company. She was a poor girl; she’d grown up in an orphanage, and she went to a business college - and then worked to put her brothers through school Picture Quote #1

A lot of people I went to college with felt like they wanted to pursue theater exclusively, so I don’t think that I really was in competition with people that I went to school with Picture Quote #1
