Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you’re feelin’ down
Yeah, nothin’ could change what you mean to me
Oh don’t you wash away that smile, just look at the window and see the light. It’s beautiful to be alive, it’s wonderful to live a life.
Blue Sky, Hale1. The people in charge have all the answers.
That’s why they are so wealthy and happy and healthy and powerful—ask any teacher.2. Learning ends when you leave the classroom.
Your fort building, trail forging, frog catching, friend making, game playing, and drawing won’t earn you any extra credit. Just watch TV.3. The best and brightest follow the rules.
You will be rewarded for your subordination, just not as much as your superiors, who, of course, have their own rules.4. What the books say is always true.
Now go read your creationism chapter. There will be a test.5. There is a very clear, single path to success.
It’s called college. Everyone can join the top 1% if they do well enough in school and ignore the basic math problem inherent in that idea.6. Behaving yourself is as important as getting good marks.
Whistle-blowing, questioning the status quo, and thinking your own thoughts are no-nos. Be quiet and get back on the assembly line.7. Standardized tests measure your value.
By value, I’m talking about future earning potential, not anything else that might have other kinds of value.8. Days off are always more fun than sitting in the classroom.
You are trained from a young age to base your life around dribbles of allocated vacation. Be grateful for them.9. The purpose of your education is your future career.
And so you will be taught to be a good worker. You have to teach yourself how to be something more.

You know what’s sad about reading books? It’s that you fall in love with the characters. They grow on you. And as you read, you start to feel what they feel - all of them - you become them. And when you’re done, you’re never the same. Sure you’re still you, you look the same, talk in the same manner, but something in you has changed. Something in the way you think, the way you choose, sometimes, even the things you say may differ. But it all comes down to the state you go to after a nice novel. The after-feeling. It’s amazing, but somehow, you feel left alone by that world you were once in. It’s overwhelming. But it makes you sad. Cause for once you were this, this otherworldly being in… Neverwhere, and then you suddenly have to say goodbye after a few weeks from when you read the last page. When you’ve recovered from that state it’s just… quite sad.

—Suikoden V, Recruiting Egbert. (Damn, son, why don’t you tell us how you REALLY feel?)
Those who are heartless once cared too much.
