“It is a rare high school teacher who enjoys seeing their world being enormously improved upon by youths.”

“There are two types of teachers in the world: there are those who play school and teachers that teach school”

“He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.”

“I ended up dropping out of high school. I'm a high school dropout, which I'm not proud to say, ... I had some teachers that I still think of fondly and were amazing to me. But I had other teachers who said, 'You know what? This dream of yours is a hobby. When are you going to give it up?' I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there”

“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who know where their high school yearbook is and those who do not.”

“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.”
