"You know nothing," she said to him gravely... "And suppose the vampire who made you knew nothing, and the vampire that made that vampire knew nothing, and the vampire before him knew nothing, and so it goes back and back, nothing proceeding from nothing, until there is nothing! And we must live with the knowledge that there is no knowledge."
This passage just really stuck out to me. It kinda reminds me of our school... No, not that our school is filled with bloodthirsty vampires, but the fact that we do things a certain way, and have no real explanation as to why they're done that way, except that it's "just Decatur." But anything we do is fairly trivial, so it's not like one of life's greatest questions is why we can have gander bender day but can't wear tank tops.
