“Young people are the future of the world”

The Freedom Writers Diary is a non-fiction book published in 1999 by the Woodrow Wilson High School in Long Beach, California students known as The Freedom Writers, along with their teacher Erin Gruwell. It was then adapted into the movie Freedom Writers (2007).

Here are some of the quotes from the book:

  • “Society just doesn't care about young people anymore, even if we are the future.”― Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary

  • “I always say that the young people are the future of the world, and if we start with them first, if we educate and develop a sense of tolerance among them, our future, the future of this world, will be in good hands for generations to come.”― Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary

  • “Be the kind of people that have enough passion to change the world. If we let ourselves be fire, thunder, or lightning, we could alter everything.”― Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary
