• I have ALWAYS wanted to write - I was the seven-year old entering local library poetry contests, and I recently found my eighth-grade yearbook when we moved, and I had listed "WRITER" as my future occupation. It's always been something I've been hungry to do, but I think the more practical side of me (encouraged by the more practical sides of my parents of course) shied away from pursuing a career in creative writing, in favor of something a little "safer" like law.

• I remember one English teacher in the eighth grade, Florence Schrack, whose husband also taught at the high school. I thought what she said made sense, and she parsed sentences on the blackboard and gave me, I'd like to think, some sense of English grammar and that there is a grammar, that those commas serve a purpose and that a sentence has a logic, that you can break it down. I've tried not to forget those lessons, and to treat the English language with respect as a kind of intricate tool.

• our culture is definitely the eighth grade. It's run by eighth-grade boys, and the way these boys show a girl they like her is by humiliating her and making her cry.

• We buy them (books) as our budget allows. But eighth grade has four trade books (individual-title books), and you have time to do more than that during the school year.

• Me estremecí; estaba soñando. Mientras me acostaba, las palabras de la profesora de octavo, cuando la clase llegó a Evangeline , seguían resonando en mis oídos: "Estamos llegando a un poema largo, chicos y chicas. Ahora no seáis bebés y empezad a contar las páginas". Me quedé allí tumbado como un bebé, contando las páginas una y otra vez, contando las páginas.

• The books we read change over the years as new books come out and they change over the grades. Books we are reading in fifth and sixth grade now may have been seventh and eighth grade books in the past, or the other way around.

• It's very cool to be short, very cool. When I was in eighth grade, and the height I am now, I would just look at the cute little short girls and think, 'If only, if only.

• Empecé a tocar la guitarra en octavo curso, lo que me llevó a escribir canciones y a intentar tocar en grupos. Así conocí a gente, me metí en la escena punk rock local y fui a conciertos. Así fue como me metí de lleno en la cultura.

• My mothers dad dropped out of the eighth grade to work. He had to. By the time he was 30, he was a master electrician, plumber, carpenter, mason, mechanic. That guy was, to me, a magician. Anything that was broken, he could fix. Anybody anywhere in our community knew that if there was a problem, Carl was there to fix it.

• Cuando estaba en octavo curso, en una fiesta de graduación puse "Boys" de The Beatles y cincuenta personas se quedaron con la boca abierta. Y como que te das cuenta, bueno tal vez debería hacer esto porque no soy muy bueno en los deportes, no soy tan popular, no soy muy inteligente, y no soy muy guapo, pero cuando tocaba la batería, a todo el mundo le gustaba.

• When I started wrestling in the eighth grade, I just fell in love with it, and started shifting my focus more to that. I considered playing in college, but it made more sense for me to wrestle, because I weigh about a buck fifty.

• I was very withdrawn and definitely played with dolls well into eighth grade. But I was the oldest of nine, and that grounded me in a way that I don't think I would have been grounded otherwise. So I was able to - or forced to - function practically. But I think, by nature, I was someone who lived in my head, in my imagination.

• Quiero decir, crecer en Nueva Orleans cuando estás en séptimo y octavo grado y te gusta la música y eres un tipo tonto, ya sabes, escuchas todo el catálogo de Rush y todo el catálogo de Zeppelin y pasas por estas fases de rock clásico. Definitivamente habla de nuestra idiotez y la ciudad natal similar en la que crecimos, el tipo similar de escolarización por la que pasamos y los amigos que tuvimos.

• When I was in school, in eighth grade, someone recognized something in me. She was an English teacher, and we read a play out loud in class, and she asked me to read one of the roles. I'd never done anything like that before, but something just lit up.

• Marriage and fatherhood heighten the disillusion that we all think we are born handy. We confidently believe that we can fix things around the house, as if it's part of the collective brain that was further enhanced by eighth-grade shop class.

• No creo que exagere si digo que la esencia de lo que soy hoy es el resultado del entrenamiento con pesas. Me ha hecho y me ha dado la vida que tengo. Y se remonta al octavo curso, cuando te cortaban, tus amigos te decían que no podías hacerlo y tú te decías a ti mismo que sí podías.

• Until the Left took over American public education in the second half of the 20th century, it was generally excellent - look at the high level of eighth-grade exams from early in the 20th century and you will weep. The more money the Left has gotten for education - America now spends more per student than any country in the world - the worse the academic results. And the Left has removed God and dress codes from schools - with socially disastrous results.

• I always wanted to be someone in the entertainment industry. In my eighth grade slideshow, when everyone was like "show us what you want to be," everyone [said] doctor, lawyer, [but] mine literally said rapper. I wanted to be a musician, I wanted to be a superstar, I wanted to be on stage, I wanted to perform, I wanted to be in movies. But as you grow up, those dreams kind of fade away.

• Up until I think eighth grade - when I found out in front of a roomful of people - I believed that England and Great Britain were two entirely different places. Like I didn't know that England was a part of Great Britain. I thought they were completely separate in every way.
