“Drugs are also a part of school life in particular marijuana. Alcohol beverages, prostitution - not so much on campus - but that is a way of survival for some young women and young men. These are societal ills.”

“He called me out in front of everyone and said sing- ‘One of these things is not like the other.’ That song is from the show Sesame Street if you do not know.' 'Nevaeh, can you see what is different? Along with Nevaeh, do you not see what you did? Then just after saying that he said. What did you do?’ Mr. DeVolcano said. 'He is contemptuously speaking down to me; he was trying to belittle my intelligence. I thought at the time, what is next, are you going to dance down the hall, while clicking your pointed-up feet together, and say- 'Nevaeh sucks, Nevaeh sucks!' 'Therefore, at that moment, I just said photocopy it, and that pissed him off; I would like to say to him to stop wasting my time.”

“বেশির ভাগ মানুষ স্কুলজীবন নিয়ে প্রচুর পরিমাণে আবেগী ও স্মৃতিকাতর হলেও আমার বিশ্বাস কলেজজীবন হলো সেই সময় যখন আসলে আমাদের বেঁচে থাকার হিসাব-নিকাশ ও দর্শন বদলে যায়। দুই থেকে আড়াই বছরের সেই সময়টা যেমন গতিময়, তেমনই অস্থির। বয়সটাও টালমাতাল। আমরা না ছোটো, না প্রাপ্তবয়স্ক। এই বয়সে কখনো ধাওয়া করে স্কুলজীবনের পিছুডাক, কখনোবা দূরবর্তী কোনো নিষিদ্ধ আহবান যা আমাদের বারবার বলে প্রচলিত সব নিয়ম ভেঙে ফেলতে।”

“Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.”

“How can we speak of Democracy or Freedom when from the very beginning of life we mould the child to undergo tyranny, to obey a dictator? How can we expect democracy when we have reared slaves? Real freedom begins at the beginning of life, not at the adult stage. These people who have been diminished in their powers, made short-sighted, devitalized by mental fatigue, whose bodies have become distorted, whose wills have been broken by elders who say: "your will must disappear and mine prevail!"-how can we expect them, when school-life is finished, to accept and use the rights of freedom?”

“It was fun to play that surreal high school life [in Jawbreaker]. I was a huge fan of the movie Heathers. But I think at the time - you know, when the movie was released, it was a very limited release, and it didn't do very well at the box office. And I love the fact that it has found legs and that the audience has kept growing and growing over the years.”

“Fortunately for me, I ran across some girls I could get along with so I could enjoy high school life okay, but it must be awful for kids who don't get along with anybody. We're different from our parents, a completely different species from our teachers. And kids who are one grade apart you are in a different world altogether. In other words, we're basically surrounded by enemies and have to make it on our own.”

“I don’t think people realise how vital libraries are or what a colossal danger it would be if we were to lose any more. Having had a truncated school life myself, all of my education from the age of 17 has been self-taught. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the opportunities the library gave me.”
