I think they assign things to students which are way over their heads, which destroy your love of reading, rather than leading you to it. I don’t understand that. Gosh. – Charles M. Schulz
Occasionally a student writer comes up with something really beautiful and moving, and you won’t know for years if it was an accident or the first burst of something wonderful. – Howard Nemerov
I first heard the story of Agnes Magnusdottir when I was an exchange student in the north of Iceland. – Hannah Kent
I had done student films for the School Of Visual Arts and for NYU and all these schools in New York, so those were my first film experiences, but they were student films, so I guess they don’t really count. – Guillermo Diaz
The most superficial student of Roman history must be struck by the extraordinary degree in which the fortunes of the republic were affected by the presence of foreigners, under different names, on her soil. – Henry James Sumner Maine
I went to uni and then drama school afterwards and lived in quite a few student houses. – Greg McHugh
It is our hope that the AP program can serve as an anchor for increasing rigor in our schools. Rigor can be maintained while increasing student participation. – Gaston Caperton
No student of Chinese history can say that the Chinese are incapable of religious experience, even when judged by the standards of medieval Europe or pious India. – Hu Shih
I came to Ireland 20 years ago as a student, hitch-hiking round for a week and staying in Dublin. – Greta Scacchi
I learned that when something just has to be said to move the discussion along, or broaden it or deepen it, if I can just keep my mouth shut for five minutes a student will say it. So for me a lot of teaching is about keeping my mouth shut. – Greil Marcus
I had a briefcase at one point, but it was a kind of 1980s New Wave briefcase. It was made of some kind of cardboard and it had metal hinges. It was kind of faux industrial looking, and I used to carry my books in it rather than a backpack. I didn’t want to have normal student accoutrements. – Jeffrey Eugenides
I always feel like everything I shoot is a student project, and nobody else knows about it. I forget, in the moment, that other people will see it. – Holland Roden
I got involved when I was a graduate student at UCLA when UCLA was the first site on the net. – Jon Postel

‘Saw,’ in many ways, was like my student film. The first crappy student film you don’t really want people to see. – James Wan
Engineering undergraduates should not be charged fees. They should receive grants, not student loans, and the government will get the money back long-term from increased exports. – James Dyson
I had been offered fellowships to enter as a graduate student at either Harvard or Princeton. But the Princeton fellowship was somewhat more generous, since I had not actually won the Putnam competition… Thus Princeton became the choice for my graduate study location. – John Forbes Nash, Jr.
Hypersegregated inner-city schools – in which one finds no more than five or ten white children, at the very most, within a student population of as many as 3,000 – are the norm, not the exception, in most northern urban areas today. – Jonathan Kozol
My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form. – Ivan Reitman
In 1982, fellow film student Amanda Richardson and I went to Greenham Common for the day – to see what was going on and to shoot some video. The day turned into a weekend, the weekend into seven months, and the dozens of hours of footage turned into a film – ‘Carry Greenham Home.’ – Beeban Kidron
