英文："An education is not the same thing as a school. A school is merely the institution through which an education is offered. An education is something you take for yourself. It's a process of becoming."中文："教育不等同于上学；学校只是提供教育的一个机构，而教育是一件需要靠自己完成的事。"
英文："For some, the word educated has come to mean institutionalized, but it doesn't have to mean that. An education is the remaking of a person."中文："对于一些人来说教育这个词意味着制度化，但教育也可以不止于此。教育是对人的重塑。"
书中摘录："我曾怯懦、崩溃、自我怀疑，内心有什么东西腐烂了。打开我逃离大山的口，那是教育给我的新世界，是我生命的无限可能。"书名：《你当像鸟飞往你的山》(Educated)
