Student Quotes

“As an undergraduate student in psychology, I was taught that multiple personalities were a very rare and bizarre disorder. That is all that I was taught on ... It soon became apparent that what I had been taught was simply not true. Not only was I meeting people with multiplicity; these individuals entering my life were normal human beings with much to offer. They were simply people who had endured more than their share of pain in this life and were struggling to make sense of it.”

“Kiedy wsuwaliśmy zwłoki do worka, widzieliśmy niewiele larw – ledwie garstkę. Teraz było ich tam całe mrowie, dosłownie dziesiątki tysięcy. Jeden ze studentów zapytał, skąd się tam wzięły. Czy w ciągu czterdziestopięciominutowej podróży powrotnej na uniwersytet mogło dojść do jakiegoś masowego wylęgu? Wyjaśniłem, że czerwie były tam od początku, a w tym przypadku chodziło tylko o błędną ocenę pory dnia. Czerwie nie lubią słońca, więc jeśli ciało leży na otwartej przestrzeni, w ciągu dnia chowają się pod skórą. Gdy zamknęliśmy ciało w nieprzejrzystym czarnym worku, larwy uznały, że zapadła już noc, więc wyszły żerować na zewnątrz.”

“My parents must have seen something in me that I missed. My teachers insisted that I didn’t apply myself… I know that I didn’t like doing the additional homework my parents gave me, so instead of being a scholar I became the class clown. Ouch! My grades, although passing, didn’t come near reflecting my potential. It was suggested that I was a bright child who just didn’t apply himself. Most of the time I received only “C” grades, although they should have been at least “B+” and perhaps by showing just a bit more effort I could have been an “A” student or better. Lazy, was the term they used, and for this reason they gave me lower grades. But nothing fazed me as long as I passed and was promoted with my class. Punishing me also didn’t work, and boxing my ears only made me more rebellious. It must have seemed futile to my parents, but they continued doing what they thought was right. Being defiant, I insisted that if they didn’t give me so much additional work, I would have more time for what was assigned. However, that was not to be.”

“You need mountains, long staircases don't make good hikers.”
