Student Council Quotes

“If it cannot hatch from its shell, the chick will die without ever truly being born. We are the chick; the world is our egg. If we don't break the world's shell, we will die without truly being born. Smash the world's shell, for the Revolution of the World.”
― Ikuhara Kunihiko

“Don’t take it personally.”
Please take it personally. Please quit student council and leave me alone. Go be tall somewhere else.”

“They stuck with the giraffe theme, sprinkling hay on my seat in homeroom, putting kibble through the slots of my locker, and posting a picture of a giraffe next to my campaign poster for student council president. They were so pissed when I adopted the giraffe as my campaign logo---Vote Loni: A Head Above the Crowd---and won.”
― Virginia Hartman, The Marsh Queen

“Mina wasn't sure how she ended up running for class representative in the student council. Maybe because she was naturally argumentative. Maybe it was her deep need to do something important. She didn't know. One day she'd gone off in the media center about her hefty library fines and how they discouraged reading, and the media specialist encouraged her to take that passion and run with it. She'd still had to pay the fines, but she'd entered her name in the student council race, spent a week hanging posters all over the school, and annihilated her opponent in the debate in the school auditorium.
At least that was what she'd thought at the time. Becca's words from yesterday came back to her and smacked her in the face. I got everyone to vote for you. It was a pity vote because of your tragic awkwardness. When she got to the media center, she pulled the caricature of Becca out of her sketchbook and displayed it with some books of poetry on an endcap where people would see it.”
