Famous quotes containing the words grade, point and/or average:
“Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around, and nearly every book represents what my sons third grade teacher refers to as a teachable moment.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe a mans actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“...you dont have to be as good as white people, you have to be better or the best. When Negroes are average, they fail, unless they are very, very lucky. Now, if youre average and white, honey, you can go far. Just look at Dan Quayle. If that boy was colored hed be washing dishes somewhere.”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
