Recess Quotes - page 2

Suddenly, I wondered what the hell was going on. Ramón had been the smartest and most capable guy in our whole grade in "thinking” and "figuring” out things, and he'd been considered dumb, too. And now Gus, he was also the smartest guy of all of us during recess and he just said that he'd been flunked before. This didn't make any damn-I mean, blessed-sense to me at all! The smartest kids I knew were all considered stupid. (Victor Villaseñor)

Ben Carson
From my early youth, since I attained the age of puberty before I was twenty, until the present time when I am over fifty, I have ever recklessly launched out into the midst of these ocean depths, I have ever bravely embarked on this open sea, throwing aside all craven caution; I have poked into every dark recess, I have made an assault on every problem, I have plunged into every abyss, I have scrutinized the creed of every sect, I have tried to lay bare the inmost doctrines of every community. All this have I done that I might 68 distinguish between true and false, between sound tradition and heretical innovation. View quote
Abu Hamid al-Ghazali
