School Quotes Quotes

“In this world, there is only one happiness and that is to be yourself. And because nobody is himself, everybody is trying somehow to hide, with masks, with pretensions and with hypocrisy.  They are being taught everything in the education system, but they are not taught to be themselves. This is what makes everybody miserable. To be what you do not want to be, to do something that you do not want to do. These things are the basis of all misery. Sooner or later, you have to decide. You have to say: Whatever the cost, I want to be myself. Condemned, ridiculed, losing respectability, everything is ok, but I cannot pretend anymore to be somebody else. This decision and declaration of freedom, freedom from the weight of the crowd of people, gives back your natural being. Then you can simply be yourself just as you are.”

“Communicating our hearts out is the first road to expressing all the love we have in us, towards the one we have it for. Never allow that road to get obstructed with angst, under-handedness, ego, or even demureness. Never! I learn-- communication is not just the elementary aid to becoming friends but also Staying friends.”

“Girls should be taught at school that giving birth to an unnaturally over-sized western baby that no longer fits down the birth canal may lead to a multitude of long term health problems.”

“A valuable lesson I'd impart to my ninth-grade self: "Resist the urge to cloak your true self in a veneer of pain-disguised confidence. Such a mask, though it might seem protective, can inadvertently distance you from the very individuals you cherish deeply. This path could ultimately pave the way towards feelings of desolation and despondency. Remember, embracing vulnerability is an inherent aspect of our human essence, a trait that can serve as a shield against the clutches of depression and the echoing ache of solitude.”

“Books and school are great for learning but there is no substitute for life and living to provide a real education.”

“My school teacher of language and literature always admired with my writing, treating me as one of his most favorite students. He gave me the different vision of myself. Being the person of unique talents, charisma, great wisdom, and intelligence, the teacher was that “beam of sunshine in the blackness,” so invaluable that it wouldn’t be possible for me to survive without his inspiring, kind, and cheering, caring words.”

“Life is a thorough university; pain and hardship are its distinguished professors.”

“I spent most of my life trying to specialize myself. I went to theater school, film school, music school, mime school ... Finally, I was able to gather enough knowledge to build the confidence to create my own work, that goes utterly against the sense of specialization.”

“A few hours spent reading a book is better than a lifetime of ignorance.”

“Rules and consequences are not the best tools for classroom management. Giving students goals and rewards is more effective. It’s about putting systems in place that actively incentivize good behavior and passively decentivize bad behavior. In this way, as a teacher you can spend less time on managing behaviors and more time on educating and leading.”

“Education costs an arm and a leg, but ignorance costs you your mind and your soul.”

“Books are a stairway to knowledge; experience is a highway to understanding; together they are an elevator to enlightenment.”
