“I'm collecting them all. But obviously, Danny's smarter than I am because he decided to go to Stanford. He's a great player, but he's also a great kid. He's the kind of guy you'd like to have as your son, just a really impressive young man.”
Billy Beane
“[Another student, Ken, the son of Korean immigrants, enrages his ambitious father when he decides to go to Stanford, instead of Harvard or M.I.T. as his father had hoped.] He appeared at my classroom door a few days before Christmas and told me I had helped him get through the last year of high school, ... At one time he had a dream of going into a dark alleyway with his father and only one of them would come out. He'd be the one, of course, but out there in Stanford, he began to think about his father and what it was like coming from Korea, working day and night selling fruit and vegetables when he knew barely enough English to get through the day, hanging on, desperate for his children to get the education he never had in Korea, that you couldn't even dream of in Korea.”
Frank McCourt
“The truth is, I was afraid the day I walked into Stanford," she told the 2001 graduation ceremony. "And I was afraid the day I walked out.”

“The Stanford Mansion is certainly the jewel of Sacramento, ... and we're adding it to the crown jewels of the state's parks system, along with Hearst Castle, Big Basin, the Humboldt redwoods and Point Lobo.”
Ruth Coleman
“She's been Chancellor of Stanford, I mean she's got the patent resume of somebody that's got some serious skill, loves football, she's African American, it's going to be a big coon. Oh my God, I am totally, totally, totally sorry for that. I didn't mean that. It was just a slip of tongue.”
Dave Lenihan
“UCLA are undefeated national champions and Stanford were last year's runners-up so they are definitely favored to win.”
