It's a good day when a goddess gets on the school-bus with you.
Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.
But for me, it [singing] was a way to get out the feeling of the song, and also to get out the feelings that, you know, roil in high school, to express something that I had no other way of expressing.
When we’re alone together, I’m the destination. When I’m here in her life at school, I’m the disruption.
It's no good choosing your first husband from a school for evil geniuses. Much too difficult to kill.
I got eight O-levels at school. . . zero in every subject.
I just finished reading the Koran, and there's nothing in there I didn't hear in Sunday school.
When I was a young boy, I preferred cats to dogs. From the age of seven or eight onwards I just felt more comfortable with cats. And I felt more comfortable with girls, I didn't really like hanging out with guys. When I was about ten or eleven, I was friendlier with the girls in my school than with the guys.
If the government doesn't fund education, which they often don't, students are going to stay home and not go to school. It affects them directly. But I'm really not interested in writing explicitly about that. I'm really interested in human beings, and in love, and in family. Somehow, politics comes in.
Combining the lack of emotional literacy they may be imbued with, with the fact that if you're black you're not supposed to be that smart and if you. . . as a boy you're not even supposed to like school. All of the sudden you've got kids who are afraid, black kids and Latino kids who are afraid to be great, afraid to bask in the enjoyment of education, lest they be labeled less than black, less than Latino, less they be called the oreo.

As early as the autumn of 1862, I was made very happy by being sent to school.
Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates. Themoment I felt sure I had everything under control would invariably be the moment right before the principal called to report that one of my sons had just driven somebody's motorcycle through the high school gymnasium.
High school studfents are the largest oppressed minority in America.
From the age of four, I loved ballet and tap. I was in the school band, the choir, and all my school plays.
We have been taught (that is, schooled) in this country to think of 'success' as synonymous with, or at least dependent upon, 'schooling,' but historically that isn’t true in either an intellectual or a financial sense. And plenty of people throughout the world today find a way to educate themselves without resorting to a system of compulsory secondary schools that all too often resemble prison.
