School Quotes

Mediocrity, I discovered, was the great camouflage; the great protective coloring. Those boys who did not fail, yet did not excel, were left alone, free of the demands of the master who might wish to groom them for glory and of the school bully who might make them his scapegoat Picture Quote #1

I have had playmates, I have had companions, in my days of childhood, in my joyful school days - all, all are gone, the old familiar faces Picture Quote #1

I used to get bullied by the popular girls at school. Today I am the popular girl, and the bullies come to my show Picture Quote #1

Well my music was different in high school; I was singing about love - you know, things I don't care about anymore Picture Quote #1

I remember one English teacher in the eighth grade, Florence Schrack, whose husband also taught at the high school. I thought what she said made sense, and she parsed sentences on the blackboard and gave me, I'd like to think, some sense of English grammar and that there is a grammar, that those commas serve a purpose and that a sentence has a logic, that you can break it down. I've tried not to forget those lessons, and to treat the English language with respect as a kind of intricate tool Picture Quote #1

There always comes in September a parched brightness to the air that hits rabbit two ways, smelling of apples and blackboard dust and marking the return to school and work in earnest, but then again reminding him he's suffered another promotion, taken another step up the stairs that has darkness at the head Picture Quote #1

I don't understand German myself. I learned it at school, but forgot every word of it two years after I had left, and have felt much better ever since Picture Quote #1

When this happens we need to remember to treat ourselves kindly. This is the time to trust, not make judgments. Soon the children will go back to school. The company will leave. The work will get completed. The bills will be paid. The quiet moment will come. You’ll be able to catch your breath, and then you’ll notice that it doesn’t hurt anymore. Your creative energy and enthusiasm will return. Once again you’ll start to advance confidently in the direction of your dreams Picture Quote #1

But to go to school in a summer morn, oh, it drives all joy away! Under a cruel eye outworn, the little ones spend the day - in sighing and dismay Picture Quote #1

By this time I had discovered that all the gamey bits were cut out of the school texts, because I had a Shakespeare of my own; the Ontario Department of Education was hard at its impossible task of trying to educate the masses without in any permanent way inflaming their minds Picture Quote #1

I cannot imagine any boy of spirit who would not be delighted to play a drunkard - even to vomiting - in front of his Sunday school. Indeed, the vomiting might be the chief attraction of the role Picture Quote #1

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad Picture Quote #1

The usual is always mediocre. When nature takes it into her head to make a man, she fits him with her own equipment and educates him in her own school Picture Quote #1

The promotion from all-day picnics to a two weeks' camping-trip is like going from school to college Picture Quote #1

When it comes to anything that's social, whether it's your family, your school, your community, your business or your country, winning is a team sport Picture Quote #1

I was always the kid in school who tried to get attention, not necessarily the class clown, but I'd do little unexpected performances Picture Quote #1

I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life Picture Quote #1

As you know from school, it's when you have not prepared for the test that you have the fear of failing. And if you have prepared, even if you fail, you've done your best Picture Quote #1

Right now the only thing that I am concerned with in my life is being an artist. I had to suppress it for so many years in high school because I was made fun of but now I'm completely insulated in my box of insanity and I can do whatever I like Picture Quote #1

I've been actually really very pleased to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects everyone. You know, you don't have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms Picture Quote #1
