I used to tell my writing students that they must write the books they wished they could come upon - because then the books they hungered and thirsted for would exist.
I feel that I learned far more from my students than I could possibly have taught them.
I find it hilarious that there are academics who try to analyse chemical changes in the brains of students while exposing them to gags.
You have to be a student of the game to be successful, and it's promising when you can say that, with a world-record performance, I still have things to improve on!
One student was mixing my yoga up with other kinds, and I said, 'No, you cannot do that.' You cannot put calamari in the sushi and call it sushi.
A lot of my students are Asian-American, and it has been thrilling to watch them break through the stereotypes into something alive and surprising.
It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!
Never judge a student's skill on the bases of his academic success; you may never know that he could be tomorrow's Einstein.
Leo Strauss's discoveries in the history of political philosophy had the effect of liberating his students from the yoke of contemporary thought.
There is a school in Israel called Hand in Hand which I support. There Arab and Jewish students study together on a daily basis.
Labor must work harder to attract and retain members. The party should be cheaper to join with discounted rates available for union members as well as for students, pensioners, and people out of work.
I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.
One of the most important things that teachers teach students is you, you can work harder. You are mentally tougher than you think.
I am happy that thousands of students, young designers and fashion people will be able to see and study my work in every aspect of it.
I studied English at Princeton in the early eighties in what I consider a period of high obscurity. Professors and students ran around discussing the work of critics and philosophers that I doubt they'd read or understood.
I know so much is going to happen here, but I just don't know how. It feels like Paris is full of so many adventures just waiting to be had.
I've always been a creative speller and never achieved good grades in school. I graduated from high school but didn't have the opportunity to attend college, so I did what young women my age did at the time - I married.
I'm no actor. And I wasn't like George Lucas or Spielberg, making home movies as a teenager, either. But I would go back and watch certain movies again and again. By the time I saw 'The Graduate' I was aware of how these amazing stories could be told...
One of the great failings of the American education system (in our view) is that young people can graduate from university without any understanding of poverty at home or abroad.
I understood what he was doing, that he had spent four years fulfilling the absurd and tedious duty of graduating from college and now he was emancipated from that world of abstraction, false security, parents, and material excess.
I'd watched too many schoolmates graduate into mental institutions, into group homes and jails, and I knew that locking people up was paranormal - against normal, not beside it. Locks didn't cure; they strangled.
