"I do have a test today, that wasn't bullshlit. It's on European Socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So, who gives a crap if they're Socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car."

"Kid's heads are filled with so many nonfacts that when they get out of
school they're totally unprepared to do anything. They can't read, they
can't write, they can't think. Talk about child abuse. The U.S. school
system as a whole qualifies."
-zappa
"Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to
our mundane educational system. Forget about the Senior
Prom and go to the library and lieducate yourselfli if you've

Here's one I just wrote for you
"In the age of wisdom and infinite curiosity, education reigns among the most powerful tool for the human mind. Freedom, not only from the barriers of your own mind, but from the existence of our own modern culture. Set forth on this journey, let this be the first chapter on the plane of recollection. For we, as humans, have an obligation to live to our minds fullest potential, to set new strides for those who have lived before us, and to test and relive the dreams of what once was thought impossible."

Success To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded! ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
