What's your favorite out-of-context quote from books, movies, or music?

Extra karma points if you know who spoke the title quote.

I'm taking an American Indian class and not doing so hot. If calculations are correct, I'm getting a D. I'm supposed to graduate in December, so it will stink if I fail this class. What is the lowest possible grade you can get and still pass a class?? (at a university)

hey folks,

i was wondering if it is normal to change major in college. I am currently majoring in CIS (Computer Information Systems) and i don't feel i am in the right place. I have grown up with computers all my life. for me this class is really slow and yes i have consulted with teacher asking if i can give exam and move to more challenging course. She told me i can't because they are required classes. On the other hand...i am planning to major in a career that requires hands on activities. Specifically in technological field such as engineering.

Would really appreciate your help :)
Thanks!

Over the summer I'd been looking into a design college in Chicago. We currently live in Tennessee, but I want to go to college in Chicago because I love the city, I have friends there, and it's a great commercial area for the field I want to get into. My dad works at Vanderbuilt University and his job offers a tuition benefit to me and my sister for college, but the benefit doesn't take effect until 2011. My dad wants me to wait two more years (I've been out of school for almost half a year already) to go to college because by then the benefit would take off a lot of the tuition cost. But I don't want to put off my college education that long, and my parents are refusing for me to take a student loan in fear of getting myself into debt. I'm 19 and I want to start living my life now, I've never done anything to them where they wouldn't trust me. I feel like my parents don't understand. Are they being selfish, or am I? I would really appreciate any advice.

I saw a story on 60 minutes last night about the Millennials entering the workforce, these are the children born between 1980-95. (If you have not seen the story, go to cbsnews.com, click on 60 mintues and watch the video)
Nutshell: millennials enter the workforce are spoiled brats, needing tons of accolades to do the simplest of things. They blame their baby boomer parents. I additionally blame the boomer bosses.
BUT, what, if any, effect do you think education has on this situation. Do you think homeschooling contributes to the situation or minimizes it? Do you feel homeschool students are used to working harder? Do you think public school students are used to being rewarded for just showing up as the article pointed out?
Or do you think the reverse is true?
And last but not least, do you really think it is Mr. Rogers fault???
