- Screaming at children over their grades, especially to the point of the child's tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It's not funny and it's not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny.
- Ben Stein on Experience
- Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

- W. C. Fields on Experience
- So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on.
- Richard Branson on Experience

- Isadora Duncan on Experience
- So when you do your family tree and Margaret Cho does hers, and... Wanda Sykes and John Legend... we're adding to the database that scholars can then draw from to generalize about the complexity of the American experience. And that's the contribution that family trees make to broader scholarship.
- Henry Louis Gates on Experience

- Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we're in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.
- Loretta Lynn on Experience

- John Dewey on Experience
- Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.
