“The last scene? I've got to tell you, everyone was bawling. People were just crying. It was like a graduation. It was very surreal. We all spoke about it earlier that day, but people were just breaking down. I mean, seven years, every day. You see people grow up, you grow up yourself, you see people going through ups and downs. It was hard for us.”
Mila Kunis
“I used to tell women graduate students, half-seriously, that the role of slightly rebellious daughter was one of the better roles for women living in patriarchy.”

“American universities are organized on the principle of the nuclear rather than the extended family. Graduate students are grimly trained to be technicians rather than connoisseurs. The old German style of universal scholarship has gone.”
Camille Paglia
“Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn't one occasion where people celebrate you. ... Hallmark doesn't make a "congratulations, you didn't marry the wrong guy" card. And where's the flatware for going on vacation alone?”
Sarah Jessica Parker
“The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.”
Ben Stein
“We have some outstanding graduates in all fields and it's about time we started talking about those people.”
Carol Ayres
“In general, many people spend more time planning a graduation day or wedding day than planning their retirement. And that's only one day. People should spend time planning for their retirement.”
