“The women in my life have all been librarians, English teachers, or booksellers. If they couldn't speak pidgin Tolstoy, articulate Henry James, or give me directions to Usher and Ox, it was no go.

“Without my women friends, I wouldn't know anything. They've been my teachers and my mothers.

“P.S. Nothing personal, but I think this journal assignment is a waste of time. I know I have to do something to make up for all the work I'm missing at school, but I HATE busywork. And that's what this journal thing is. Half the teachers at school assign work they never read. When we get stupid assignments like that, I always write somewhere on my paper "blah blah blah" or "I bet you're not even reading this," are you? or "Give me a sign if you're reading this." They never are.” IfsThinkingKnowsGivingWritingSchoolHateReadingHalfTeacherMissingStupidWastePaperI HateGive MeWasting TimeJournalAssignmentsBlah Author:Kate Klise
“The criminal misuse of time was pointing out the mistakes. Catching them―noticing them―that was essential. If you did not in your own mind distinguish between useful and erroneous information, then you were not learning at all, you were merely replacing ignorance with false belief, which was no improvement. The part of the man's statement that was true, however, was about the uselessness of speaking up. If I know that the teacher is wrong, and say nothing, then I remain the only one who knows, and that gives me an advantage over those who believe the teacher.” IfsKnowsMenGivingMindBelieveBeliefMistakeTeacherInformationIgnoranceEssentialsAdvantageGive MeCriminalsImprovementStatementsPointingCatchingNoticingMisuseUselessnessSpeaking Up Book:Ender's Shadow Source: Ender's Shadow
