“In this school, the popular kids are the rudest, the nicest kids are the loneliest, and the girls everyone thinks are pretty spend more time putting on makeup every morning than they do studying. And although I force myself to smile when I’m here, I sometimes cry in the mornings because I dread coming here.”

— Excerpt from a speech given by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to the House of Commons during World War II, 1944
