“- Principal Helen Jacobs: Next week, I have a meeting with the school board. And there are people in this community who believe that rock and roll is a message sent from the devil himself. Now when that issue comes up, what can I tell them?
- Glenn Holland: Mrs. Jacobs, you tell them that I am teaching music, and that I will use anything from Beethoven to Billie Holiday to rock and roll, if I think it'll help me teach a student to love music.”

But it's a voice that says, "Here I am... and fuck you if you can't understand me". And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that rock 'n' roll can save the world... all of us together.
