Quote by John Green

High school is neither a democracy nor a dictatorship - nor, contrary to popular belief, an anarchic state. High school is a divine-right monarchy. And when the queen goes on vacation, things change.

High school is neither a democracy nor a dictatorship - nor,

Summary

This quote humorously describes high school as a divine-right monarchy. It suggests that high school is not a democracy where everyone has equal power, nor a dictatorship with one authoritative figure in control, or chaos-driven anarchy. Instead, it portrays high school as a hierarchical system, where the queen (perhaps referring to a prominent figure or leader), holds all the power and influence. When the queen is absent, it implies that the dynamics and behaviors within the school change as the power structure is disrupted and altered.

It's natural. Nature is dark and light, birth and death. Everything and its opposite. And in nature there are predators and prey. The hunters and the hunted. The heartbreakers and the heartbroken. The beautiful thing is that Nature lets us choose which we want to be, most people never make the choice though because they don't even know they have it.
