“I’ve faced down a handful of the scariest sons of bitches in the world, I’ve been intentionally trapped in a burning house, blinded, had my back broken, I’ve been paralyzed and at the mercy of no less than two lunatic tinkers, and I’ve killed a man, I thought.

“Most people, Gurion, most people do not violate boundaries, do not defy governance, and most of them come out intact, whereas very few of those who act lawlessly do. And that is why school is so much about following rules. You are here, above all else, to learn to live lawfully for the rest of your life. You are here to learn how to exist in cages without acting as if they are cages, to live like mensches despite being locked in cages. You are here to learn to survive in the world. That is the most basic purpose of our educational system, and it is a high purpose.”

“Ce que je peux adorer les images : celles qu'on me donne à l'école quand j'ai accumulé dix points de bonne conduite, cette monnaie miraculeuse de la sagesse qui fait de l'écolier un petit actionnaire de ses hypocrisies, les vignettes historiques ou naturalistes, les saintes dévorées par les lions, les bestioles les plus inimaginables, le tapir, le sapajou. Mais celles que j'aime encore le plus, ce sont les images cartonnées, beaucoup trop aimablement coloriées, que place le beurre Préval dans ses boîtes demi-sel entre le carton à la glycérine et le fin papier ondulé qui protège le bloc de beurre : elles représentent les rois de France, qui sont tous jolis comme des coeurs ou vilains comme des diables, qui ont des airs sournois de levrette efflanquée, des pâleurs d'hémophile, des toques d'empoisonneur, des pourpoints d'hermine, et qui puent délicieusement le beurre. Un texte biographique au dos, explique combien le passage de ce sire dans la constellation des rois a été brève et cruelle, une raison de plus pour l'adorer.”
