Quotes by Ville Vuorela (?)

“Minä puolustin oikeuttani olla minä. Minä puolustin kotiani ja perhettäni. Minä puolustin kaikkia niitä, jotka ehkä joutuisivat saman opettajan määräysvallan alle tulevaisuudessa. Vuosia myöhemmin kuulin luokanopettajani kuolleen syöpään ja kuolinvuoteellaan murehtineen, että hän haluaisi uskoa pääsevänsä taivaaseen mutta minä olin kieltänyt pääsyn häneltä. jos näin todella tapahtui, olen tapahtuneesta ylpeä.”
― Ville Vuorela, Häirikkötehdas – Nörttinä koulussa ja töissä
