Going To College Quotes - Page 3

• When I was younger, I was almost too afraid to admit that I wanted to be an actor. I didn't know any successful actors in Kenya, so I felt like I could get away with going to college to study film more easily than I could with saying, 'I want to be an actor.' That's what I did.

• When I was on 'Dallas,' I was known to audiences of the '80s. And then when my sons, who are in their 30s now, were going to college, 'Dallas' was the cult thing to watch because it was being done on the soap channels, so a whole new generation saw it. And then I have the young fans that knew me from 'Step By Step' in the '90s.

• At a time when going to college has never been more important, it's never been more expensive, and our nation's families haven't been in this kind of financial duress since the great depression. And so what we have is just sort of a miraculous opportunity simply by stopping the subsidy to banks when we already have the risk of loans. We can plow those savings into our students. And we can make college dramatically more affordable, tens of billions of dollars over the next decade.

• I wanted to make an album where every song is kind of interacting - where you can't tell what's the string arrangement and what's the song. I guess that came out of going to college, majoring in music, studying classical music, and even as a kid, being really drawn to classical music.

• My father was brought to this country as an infant. He lost his mother as a teenager. He grew up in poverty.Although he graduated at the top of his high school class, he had no money for college. And he was set to work in a factory but, at the last minute, a kind person in the Trenton area arranged for him to receive a $50 scholarship and that was enough in those days for him to pay the tuition at a local college and buy one used suit. And that made the difference between his working in a factory and going to college.

• When I was going to college, there were probably four colleges in the nation that offered a major in meteorology. I wasn't fortunate enough to be in a part of the country where that was readily accessible. I have been doing weather since I graduated from college. I feel solid about what I'm doing.

• Creo que lo que hace crecer la economía es la desgravación fiscal que concedemos a los hijos que van a la universidad. Creo que eso hace crecer la economía. Creo que lo que hace crecer la economía es cuando nos aseguramos de que las pequeñas empresas obtienen un crédito fiscal por contratar a veteranos que lucharon por nuestro país. Eso hace crecer nuestra economía.

• We have the beginnings of feminism starting to rear its head, where all of that got blown up. The whole point of going to college became not to find a husband - screw that! - feminism became, "You don't want anything about a man to be defining you, and you don't want your relationship to define, you! You don't want a relationship to be your happiness. You certainly don't want marriage to be the sole determining reason you live".

• El instituto Shortridge era un instituto elitista. En cierto modo era un escándalo porque podías ir allí vivieras donde vivieras, si podías llegar. Era para los que superaban las expectativas. Era para gente que iba a ir a la universidad. Así que éramos muy especiales y nos odiaban por ser elegantes.

• Imagínense que todos los niños recibieran una auténtica educación infantil de alta calidad y que, de repente, todos los niños negros de Estados Unidos -pero también todos los niños blancos o latinos pobres, pero quédense con todos los niños negros de Estados Unidos- recibieran una educación realmente buena. Y se gradúan de la escuela secundaria al mismo ritmo que los blancos, y van a la universidad al mismo ritmo que los blancos, y pueden pagar la universidad al mismo ritmo porque el gobierno tiene programas universales. Así que ahora todos se están graduando.

• I think school is very important and I personally had a great experience at North Carolina, which helped shape me as a basketball player and a person. Every once in a while, you will have a player who can make the jump and have an immediate impact on the professional level, but most of the players who come out would absolutely benefit from going to college.

• I hadn't really thought about going to college. Nobody in my family went away to school. The other piece of that was I didn't see anybody else in my hometown going to college to give me some kind of influence or something like that you might want to think about. I didn't see any of that. Therefore I thought it was never there. What happened was that my high school coach intervened. Had he not intervened to the measure he intervened, I probably wouldn't have gone.

• After I got out of the military, I was going to college and doing everything I was supposed to do, but I was completely numb of any emotions. I remember telling my mom, "I don't want to be like this, for the rest of my life." The military enabled me to turn off my emotions, for obvious reasons. That's why we have so many guys coming back who are going through so much. They just can't reconnect.
