Higher Learning

Professor Phipps:
So, Mr. Williams thinks I am an Uncle Tom, hmmm? Well, well, well. What does that have to do with your ability to place a comma in its proper place or put a period at the end of a sentence, hmmm?

Professor Phipps:
You're own presence should be motivation enough.

Malik:
As a black man in America, my stress comes from everywhere. Recognize. Take a look around you. Look at this, Columbus, it disgusts me. Fool wasn't nothin' but a thief, mass murder. He done slaughtered millions of native Americans, and we done got a holiday and university named after his honor.

Professor Phipps:
One's primary purpose at university level is to learn how to think.

Professor Phipps:
Without struggle, there is no progress. (quoting Frederick Douglas)

Taryn:
We need to get past just complaining about university security. You know? I'm tired of hearing women cry for someone else to save them. Think what that means. Why do you need someone else to save you? Think about saving yourself.

Kristen Connor:
Look, um, why don't I stay with you tonight. We could stay up and talk...

Taryn:
Are you sure you're ready for that? Don't do it, just cause your fascinated. I want you to be sure.

Malik Williams:
Remy is it? Man, I gotta admit you've been really polite by staying out of my way. But you ain't been honest. See I figure, it's not what a person says it's what they think. So in my mind, you've been walking around here calling me a n*gger in you head. Am I right?

Remy:
I got nothing to say to you man.

Malik Williams:
Oh, I think you do! You want to say what you feel don't you? You think I'm a n*gger? You be a man and call me one to my face!

Malik Williams:
Just a punk-ass white boy. With a f***ed-up haircut. B*tch.

Fudge:
Don't read them damn books for them classes and sh*t.

Remy:
How would you feel if I came in your room and I started playing my music.

Fudge:
I wouldn't feel nothing. 'Cause it'd never happen.

Remy:
Why not?

Fudge:
'Cause I'll whoop your ass. That's why.

Remy:
This is MY world! This is MY country! This is MY WORLD! You're nothing but a monkey. Look at me! I'm the man! I'm the man! You're NOTHING! You can't hurt me.

Malik Williams:
F*** YOU!

Malik Williams:
God, I f***ing HATE you! You're gonna DIE! You DEAD! You're gonna DIE!
