Famous quotes containing the word students:

    “It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they’re killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We’d not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.”
    —Spike Lee (b. 1956)
