“Take a minute and think back to your favorite class. Chances are you do not remember the name of the textbook, the name of computer software, or the order in which the curriculum was taught. What you do remember is the person in charge of that class: the teacher.”

“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. And going back to school stirs up old feelings of anxiety.”

“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.”

“I still don’t see why I can’t just take the next bus,” said Scott as he buckled himself into the front passenger’s seat. [...] “Because the next bus isn’t for forty-five minutes, and by that time you’ll have missed first period.” Mom backed the car out of the garage and down the driveway. “It’s only English. I already speak English real goodly.” “You’re a laugh riot, Scotto.”

“I hated the very idea of the eighteenth century, with all those smug men writing tight little couplets and being so dead keen on reason. So I'd skipped it. They let you do that in honors, you were much freer. I had been so free I'd spent most of my time on Dylan Thomas. A friend of mine, also in honors, had managed never to read a word of Shakespeare; but she was a real expert on the Four Quartets.”

“I felt very low. I had been unmasked only that morning by Jay Cee herself and I felt now that all the uncomfortable suspicions I had about myself were coming true, and I couldn't hide the truth much longer. After nineteen years of running after good marks and prizes and grants of one sort and another, I was letting up, slowing down, dropping clean out of the race.”
