Jenny’s mistakes are made by many 17-year-old girls, as long as they can also meet a gentle, golden and handsome uncle in the restless period of youth, but most people don’t have such an affair, or rather, no It's nothing more than having the capital of this affair. People are unavoidable. Studying is boring, working hard for life is boring. In the future, having children and educating children will repeat the life of our youth and it is also boring... But this is life. Without this boring process, you will never become the darling of life. The most memorable sentence is that there is no shortcut in the way I want to go.

An Education quotes

  • Headmistress: Nobody does anything worth doing without a degree.

    Jenny: Nobody does anything worth doing WITH a degree. No woman anyway.

    Headmistress: So what I do isn't worth doing? Or what Miss Stubbs does, or Mrs. Wilson, or any of us here? Because none of us would be here without a degree. You do realize that, don't you? And yes, of course studying is hard and boring...

    Jenny: Boring!

    Headmistress: I'm sorry?

    Jenny: Studying is hard and boring. Teaching is hard and boring. So, what you're telling me is to be bored, and then bored, and finally bored again, but this time for the rest of my life? This whole stupid country is bored! There's no life in it, or color, or fun! It's probably just as well the Russians are going to drop a nuclear bomb on us any day now. So my choice is to do something hard and boring, or to marry my... Jew, and go to Paris and Rome and listen to jazz, and read, and eat good food in nice restaurants, and have fun! It's not enough to educate us anymore Ms. Walters. You've got to tell us why you're doing it.

  • Jenny: [Reading from envelopes she found in David's car] Mr. and Mrs. David Goldman. Mr. and Mrs. David Goldman. Mr. and Mrs. David- you're married!

    David: Legally yes, but...

    Jenny: When were you going to tell me?

    David: Soon, it just never seemed like the right time. You seemed so happy, and I was happy...

    Jenny: You were living with your wife all this time, around the corner! Byron Avenue. It's no wonder we kept bumping into each other, is it? What number?

    David: 34. Don't be like this, come on.

    Jenny: I have nothing. I didn't take my exams. I... I left school. Where's it all gone now?
