School Quotes

When you are a high school girl, there is nothing more miraculous than a high school boy Picture Quote #1

What I envy most about you and everyone else heading back to school is the certainty of it all. You’ve got a prescribed set of requirements to guide you through the next few years. Focus your energy on the completion of those assignments and you’ll succeed. Guaranteed. Where’s my syllabus to guide me through life? Picture Quote #1

He’d assumed that you went to school because you had to learn things, starting off with the easy stuff and moving on to the bigger issues, and once you’d learned them that was it, the way ahead opened up and thereafter life was simple and straightforward. What a joke. The older he got, the more complicated and obscure everything became Picture Quote #1

That’s what makes best friends. It’s not whether or not you live on the same block or go to the same school, but how you feel about each other in your hearts Picture Quote #1

When I was able to get home it first hit me that you had left and I couldn’t do anything about it. Every day before that an evening with you was waiting for me after school, now no more, strange feeling. I had grown too accustomed to your warmth. That is also a danger. At home I looked at the notebooks that you had bought and I got the stupidest surge of hope that I’d find something of you, something especially for meant for me. I would so much like to have something of you that I could always keep by me, that nobody else would notice Picture Quote #1

The same old dumb teachers teaching the same old dumb subjects in the same old dumb school. I seem to be kind of losing interest in everything. At first I thought high school would be fun but it’s just dull. Everything’s dull. Maybe it’s because I’m growing up and life is becoming more blase Picture Quote #1

I could have gone to medical school, I said. Except for all the math and stuff Picture Quote #1

She would be a mentor and an inspiration to girls like herself, the quiet ones who’d sleepwalked their way through high school, knowing nothing except that they couldn’t possibly be happy with any of the choices the world seemed to be offering them Picture Quote #1

There’s always a bit of suspense about the particular way in which a given school year will get off to a bad start Picture Quote #1

It’s really going to happen. I really won’t ever go back to school. Not ever. I’ll never be famous or leave anything worthwhile behind. I’ll never go to college or have a job. I won’t see my brother grow up. I won’t travel, never earn money, never drive, never fall in love or leave home or get my own house. It’s really, really true. A thought stabs up, growing from my toes and ripping through me, until it stifles everything else and becomes the only thing I’m thinking. It fills me up like a silent scream Picture Quote #1

I used to think that when I grew up there wouldn’t be so many rules. Back in elementary school there were rules about what entrance you used in the morning, what door you used going home, when you could talk in the library, how many paper towels you could use in the rest room, and how many drinks of water you could get during recess. And there was always somebody watching to make sure. What I’m finding out about growing older is that there are just as many rules about lots of things, but there’s nobody watching Picture Quote #1

School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is Picture Quote #1

Fortunately for me, I ran across some girls I could get along with so I could enjoy high school life okay, but it must be awful for kids who don’t get along with anybody. We’re different from our parents, a completely different species from our teachers. And kids who are one grade apart you are in a different world altogether. In other words, we’re basically surrounded by enemies and have to make it on our own Picture Quote #1

Todays the first anniversary of the asteroid hitting the moon. A year ago I was sixteen years old, a sophomore in high school Picture Quote #1

She had the kind of looks that had probably been quite pretty in high school, but were now worn down by years of smoking cigarettes, raising children, and the disappointment of being married to an asshole Picture Quote #1

Cease to be a disobedient child in the school of experience, and begin to learn, with humility and patience, the lessons that are set for your ultimate perfection Picture Quote #1

Ignoring is what you are supposed to do with bullies, so they get bored and leave you alone. But the problem in school is that they don’t get bored, because whatever else there is to do is more boring still Picture Quote #1

I decided early in graduate school that I needed to do something about my moods. It quickly came down to a choice between seeing a psychiatrist or buying a horse. Since almost everyone I knew was seeing a psychiatrist, and since I had an absolute belief that I should be able to handle my own problems, I naturally bought a horse Picture Quote #1

School has become the world religion of a modernized proletariat, and makes futile promises of salvation to the poor of the technological age Picture Quote #1

She’d never in her whole life bunked school, smoked dope, or kissed a boy whose name she didn’t know, and yet in the last few days, she’d done all these things Picture Quote #1

When it is time for you to leave this school, leave your job, or even leave this earth, you make sure you have worked hard to make sure it mattered you were even here Picture Quote #1

All of a sudden I didn’t fit in anywhere. Not at school, not at home... and every time I turned around, another person I’d known forever felt like a stranger to me. Even I felt like a stranger to me Picture Quote #1

Today at school I will learn to read at once; then tomorrow I will begin to write, and the day after tomorrow to cipher. Then with my acquirements I will earn a great deal of money, and with the first money I have in my pocket I will immediately buy for my papa a beautiful new cloth coat. But what am I saying? Cloth, indeed! It shall be all made of gold and silver, and it shall have diamond buttons. That poor man really deserves it; for to buy me books and to have me taught he has remained in his shirt sleeves... And in this cold! It is only fathers who are capable of such sacrifices! Picture Quote #1

I daydream about a high school where everybody plays the harmonica: the students, the teachers, the principal, the janitor and the cook in the cafeteria Picture Quote #1

In our secular society, school has become the replacement for church, and like church it requires that its teachings must be taken on faith Picture Quote #1

We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all Picture Quote #1

I never killed anybody and I never developed an intense level of hatred for the enemy. Because my war ended before I ever put on a uniform; I was on active duty all my time at school; I killed my enemy there Picture Quote #1

She’s called the secretary, but as far as I can tell she basically runs the school Picture Quote #1

When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going. Wherever he was he wished he were somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he’d even bothered Picture Quote #1

Church always seemed the same. Jess could tune it out the same way he tuned out school, with his body standing up and sitting down in unison with the rest of the congregation but his mind numb and floating, not really thinking or dreaming but at least free Picture Quote #1
