“Education combines the mind, the hand, and the heart.”
“I do not concern myself with these protocols of static perceptions that serve only to categorize people with egocentric judgments and limit the profundity of the human spirit.
Cause-and-effect is the basis of my education leading me to an essence that far transcends the limitations of your societal constructs.”

“We had special moves like Pretty Poisons, Sleepy Eyes, Shark Attacks, and Biggie Fries; Bottle Caps, Bus Stops, Double Touches, and Bunny Hops; Death Rallies, Dot-to-dots, Best Friendsies, and Mystery Spots; Lumberjacks, Passbacks, Blackjacks, and Hackysacks.

I would, I told him, very much like to see that.”

“On nights like this, I feel like Henry Rowe Schoolcraft as I venture into the wild. Henry made it his craft to school people about the area, becoming The Lewis and Clark of The Ozarks.”

“It's so unfair," he continues. "School literally doesn't care about you unless you're good at writing stuff down or you're good at memorising or you can solve bloody maths equations. What about the other important things in life? Like being decent human beings?”
