• Sucedió cuando estaba en primero de bachillerato. El tipo que lo leía [la Biblia] salía con mi hermana mayor. Pensé que era lo más bonito que había pasado en Nashville. Era nueve años mayor que yo y pensé: 'Mimi, odio hacerte esto, pero voy a robarte a este chico'. Así que fui a este estudio de la Biblia pensando que iba a hacer que este chico se enamorara de mí. Tenía catorce años. Hey, tu sabes. Pero yo estaba tan abrumada por lo que estaban hablando en este estudio de la Biblia. Me convertí en una cristiana muy seria y comprometida.

• I really started getting my body ready when I was a freshman in high school. I had just been skating so much, and just started getting so annoyed with leg hair and arm hair, because I was falling so much when I was learning. So I would get scabs on my legs, and the hair would get caught in it. It just became a nuisance. And from that point on, I continued to shave my arms and legs and tried to stay sleek.

• I would not have majored in English and gone on to teach literature had I not been able to construct a counterargument about the truthfulness of fiction; still, as writers turn away from the industrious villages of George Eliot and Thomas Hardy, I learn less and less from them that helps me to ponder my life. In time, I found myself agreeing with the course evaluations written by my testier freshman students:'All the literature we read this term was depressing.' How naive. How sane.

• [Buckminster Fuller ] never got past his freshman year [in Harvard], because the guy was an insane womanizer and he did parties every night, never studied anything, never took a note, didn't care about anything and just had a blast. So they said, "We gotta let you go. You get zeros all the time." Today it wouldn't even matter, because they don't care if you can read.

• La mayor meta para mí fue terminar la universidad: fue un pacto que hice con mi madre, durante una época en la que cayó enferma. Ocurrió durante mi primer año de instituto y, por desgracia, nunca me vio competir en los Juegos Olímpicos. Pero realmente quería que acabara la universidad, porque ella nunca terminó el instituto.

• Tom [Hentoff] - it started when he was the editor of the paper at Wesleyan and the - members of the staff. This was the first wave of political correctness. The editors of the staff members came and said he must - he must, from now on, stop using `freshmen' and - in-as part of the policy of the paper. It had to be `freshperson.' Therefore, you don't - you're not discriminating against males or females. They were very fervent about that, and he was equally fervent about not politicizing language. So until he left, `freshmen' stayed.

• We were very excited and we brought speakers in – then it so happened that there was a marine recruiter in the center of campus and one of our brothers, one SDS person put up a sign with a quote from the Nuremberg trial and an arrow point at the marine recruiter, saying, "This man is a war criminal." My younger brother and I, he was freshman and I was a sophomore, got caught up in the debates that were swirling around the center of campus and the young Trotskyists had put out a fact sheet on Vietnam that was phenomenal.

• There are jobs here in Baltimore, but the problem is we don't have skilled people. Like the Port Covington initiative - that's 20 years out. I instituted initiatives as mayor that called for equities for minorities, increase minority opportunities, training. It's a good model to duplicate. Everybody doesn't want to go to college. A lot of our vocational programs don't have the latest technology. Students should begin freshman year in high school working on a plan for graduation - either going into an apprenticeship or college.

• She told her therapist it reminded her of coming home the summer after her freshman year at Rutgers, stepping back into the warm bath of family and friends, loving it for a week or two, and then feeling trapped, dying to return to school, missing her roommates and her cute new boyfriend, the classes and the parties and the giggly talks before bed, understanding for the first time that that was her real life now, that this, despite everything she'd ever loved about it, was finished for good.

• Durante dos meses, después de las vacaciones de Navidad, cojeamos por el campus con los músculos demasiado doloridos para andar bien, pero no teníamos una idea clara de nuestro objetivo. Sin saber cómo era una carrera de verdad, no podía juzgar si merecía la pena tanta preparación, pero habiendo invertido ya tanto tiempo, ¿cómo íbamos a echarnos atrás? Algunos estudiantes de primer año se echaron atrás. Después de Navidad, algunos, liberados de las prácticas, decidieron que les gustaba no estar cansados todo el tiempo. La mayoría desapareció sin decir palabra.
