“That was the same week my physics teacher taught my class the concept of infinity. I cried about it every night for months.”

“My first reaction, every time I delve into an episode of history that I don’t know very much about, is anger that my teachers never taught me about it.”

“When I was in the third grade, I did my very best to fail every class so that the kids would like me and stop calling me a teacher's pet. It did not work out for me, though. My best attempts at failure in school garnered me an A- at best, and at my worst, I won awards for being the student of the month. -Mackenzie”

“I was still learning when I taught my last class.”

“My teacher asked my favorite color. ... I said ‘Rainbow’.... and I was punished to stand out of my class.”

“Do the strong cry every night for a month? she asked softly.When they need to, I countered, clasping her hand. Women, Arjumand, women are taught that there's no strength in our tears. But why are one's tears powerless, if those tears lead to insight, or a sense of peace?”
