Quotes1

  • Joe Bob Blanton: Well, I read that poem of his about the nightingale. And I didn't think it was so good. Sounded like he wanted to *be* a nightingale.
  • Teacher: Well, I - I don't think he wanted to be a nightingale, Joe Bob. Maybe he just wanted to be immortal.
  • Joe Bob Blanton: All you have to do to be immortal is lead a good Christian life. Anyone can do it if they love the Lord.
  • Teacher: Well, maybe so, Joe Bob. Maybe so. Here now, let me - let me read you this: "When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,'-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
