school

«The stage was our school, our home, our life.»
Author: Lillian Gish (Actress) | Keywords: school, stage, staged, The Stage
«They say that we are better educated than our parents' generation. What they mean is that we go to school longer. It is not the same thing.»
«The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.»
«This is what you shall do: love the earth and sun, and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence towards the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown, or to any man or number of men; go freely with the powerful uneducated persons, and with the young, and mothers, of families: read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life: re-examine all you have been told at school or church, or in any books, and dismiss whatever insults your soul.»
«The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.»
«The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province.»
«The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......and you finish off as an orgasm.»
«Those who get lost on the way to school will never find their way through life»
«School's a weird thing. I'm not sure it works.»
«The first half of my life I went to school, the second half of my life I got an education.»
