"Anyway, it's like with bikes,' said the first speaker authoritatively. 'I thought I was going to get this bike with seven gears and one of them razorblade saddles and purple paint and everything, and they gave me this light blue one. With a basket. A girl's bike.''Well. You're a girl,' said one of the others.'That's sexism, that is. Going around giving people girly presents just because they're a girl."

"Dwarfs were not a naturally religious species, but in a world where pit props could crack without warning and pockets of fire damp could suddenly explode they'd seen the need for gods as the sort of supernatural equivalent of a hard hat.

Education
"It is almost impossible for anyone, even the most ineffective among us, to continue to choose misery after becoming aware that it is a choice."

Life
"This is at the heart of all good education, where the teacher asks students to think and engages them in encouraging dialogues, constantly checking for understanding and growth."
Education

Control
"Caring for but never trying to own may be a further way to define friendship."
Friendship
"There are only two places in the world where time takes precedence over the job to be done. School and prison."
