Junior Class Sayings

#1. The beginning of my political career was not promising. I ran for junior class president at Shortridge High school and was runner up. I ran again in the senior year with the same result. But opportunity came ironically, or fortunately, when I returned to Indianapolis after serving in the Navy.

Richard Lugar

#2. My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it.

Frank Iero

#3. You know, it's a big version of an episode, which I think is necessary at this point because we're drawing in people who not only people who have seen the show before and are devoted to it, but people who have never seen it before.

Gillian Anderson

#4. Behind the abstraction known as 'the markets' lurks a set of institutions designed to maximize the wealth and power of the most privileged group of people in the world, the creditor-rentier class of the First World and their junior partners in the Third.

#6. Even though I was a reluctant reader in junior high and high school, I found myself writing poems in the back of class.

Matt De La Pena

#7. I remember one time in my junior year, in my art class, our teacher had us doing, like, finger paints, and I went and put a stripe on a girl's shirt, and it turned into a big paint fight. Paint all over the walls, all over everybody. It was pretty fun.

CC Sabathia

#8. I can't bring myself to open my eyes. I am an ember, glowing from the inside out. The dark and silent room keeps everything else at bay, every sensation, except the two of us, Nick and Lily, who have just made love.

Beatriz Williams

#9. I was the runt of my class. So I got away with the whole 'Oh, he's so cute' thing. I was in upper division math courses, so I would have junior and senior girls in my class, and they'd just sit behind me and play with my hair. I didn't mind that so much.

Justin Lee

#10. The most unsuccessful three years in the education of cost estimators appears to be fifth-grade arithmetic.

Norman Ralph Augustine

#11. Be very, very careful not to let the facts get mixed up with the truth.

Jerry Spinelli

#12. Do something. If it doesn't work, do something else. No idea is too crazy.

#13. When I was in junior high, a foreign-history teacher started a theater class. So I got my feet wet there and through high school, so I was very fascinated with acting as a means of expression.

Dwight Yoakam

#14. Gaining visibility is just the process of being SEEN so that you can connect with others.

Kim Beasley

#15. The thing that really struck me when I went to junior high was class. I grew up on a pretty poor street, but the school district I was in included some fine neighborhoods - so I got to know a couple of the kids from those places and went to their houses and experienced such culture shock.

Lynda Barry

Paris Hilton

#19. I raise my face to his, ready for the crush of his lips against mine, wanting to share more than these nervous breaths.

Sarah Glenn Marsh

#20. By watching the great, old comedians I picked up a few tricks about how to do physical comedy. And whenever I could learn something, I sort of added that to my repertoire.

John Cleese

#21. I took an acting class at Cerritos Junior College and I did a handful of plays, maybe five or six plays.

John Corbett

#22. We ought to be free to meet and mingle,
to rise by our individual worth, without any consideration of caste or color; and they who deny us this right are false to their own professed principals of human equality.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

#23. I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I'd always wanted to try it.

Rainn Wilson

#24. I think a cyber-terrorism attack is overblown, though the threat exists. I think al Qaeda and other groups are more interested in symbolic terrorism, like what they did to the World Trade Center - suicide bombers or something that really has an effect and is meaningful to people.

Kevin Mitnick

#25. The exciting thing about getting a label together and doing press for it is that hopefully some 15-year-old girl who is the only feminist in her junior-high class will hear about it and be like, "Oh, cool, I hadn't heard of that, I'm going to check it out."

Kathleen Hanna
