“I know they never practiced what they preached, not one iota. Do to others what you want them to do unto you. Be kind to others. Jesus will love you for it, and so on, and on and on and on, all the talking and preaching in church and classrooms. And what they did to us and how they administered their little regime did not mean a thing to them. They never practiced what they preached period.”
Joseph Auguste Merasty, The Education of Augie Merasty: A Residential School Memoir

“Brother Lepeigne was a man dedicated to preserving the image of Superiority of the Semi-Super Race of Whiteman over Indian, like the German Super Race tried to establish during the time of Hitler's regime. As I look back, what was happening at the school was basically the same thing, except on a smaller scale with the same principles.”
Joseph Auguste Merasty, The Education of Augie Merasty: A Residential School Memoir

“This book of yours, Augie?

It's your immortality.”
