Quote from Ray in Homework
Marie: Raymond, you never read Tom Sawyer? Ray: Well, all right, I didn't. So what? Marie: You never read Tom Sawyer?! Ray: And you never read Legendary Running Backs of the NFL. Marie: That's sports. Ray: That's right, Ma, a sports book. A sports book! That's because that's what I liked! All this stuff they make you do in school, that's what they think is important. I did- I read what I wanted to, and look at me. I am someone who did not read Tom Sawyer, and yet I did not turn out to be a hobo.
