Volume 1

Jaunedice, Pt.2

Now, while this must feel like ancient history to many of you, it is imperative to remember that these are relatively recent events! Why, the repercussions of the uprising can still be seen to this day!
—Oobleck, describing how the Faunus Rights Revolution is relevant to modern times
Dreadful, simply dreadful! Remember, students, it is precisely this kind of ignorance that breeds violence!
—Oobleck, regarding the discrimination against Faunus
You've worked hard to gain entrance to this school, and we only accept the best of the best, so I expect you to act like it. History is important, gentlemen! If you can't learn from it... you're destined to repeat it.
—Oobleck, lecturing Jaune Arc and Cardin Winchester on their classroom performance

It's "Doctor" Oobleck. I didn't earn the Ph.D. for fun, thank you very much!
—Oobleck, to Weiss Schnee
Why, what a preposterous question, you silly girl! Why, history is the backbone of our very society! And the liver! And probably the kidneys if I were to wager!
—Oobleck, answering Weiss' question
As a Huntsman, it is my job to protect the people, and although I am capable of doing it with traditional weaponry, I believe I can make a much larger impact if I do it with my mind.
—Oobleck, to Ruby Rose on how he can be a more effective Huntsman
I am a Huntsman, Ruby, because there is nothing else in this world I would rather be.
—Oobleck, to Ruby on why he became a Huntsman

Decouple the caboose! It will kill us all!

These certainly are some spectacular spectacles on which to spectate on! I don't think anyone tuning in around the world is going to disagree with me on that!

New Challengers...

That concludes the matches for today. Please leave the Colosseum IN A CALM AND ORDERLY FASHION!!
—Oobleck, on the intercom system at Amity Colosseum

Miss Rose, this day will surely go down in Remnant's history. I'd prefer it if my students could live to tell about it.

The Branwen twins have always been... interesting, to say the least.

Are we finally talking about the Goliath in the room?
—Oobleck, on Yang's missing arm
A piece of Atlas technology given out like that is rare indeed! Not to mention the effort it took to get it here. It seems a great many people want to see you returned to normal.
—Oobleck, to Yang about the value of what she has

RWBY Chibi

So in conclusion, history is good, ignorance is bad! Therefore, read a book!
—Oobleck's end of class summation
So, in conclusion, read a book! Because no matter the problem, books fix everything!
—Oobleck adds more words to the above advice
You know, people often ask me about shortcuts to make life easier. "Life hacks", if you will. To which I respond... WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! There are no shortcuts in life! Your rivals are always at your heels! You want to survive?! Study hard! Work harder! Constantly improve yourself! Never rest! NEVER REST! Your time in life is limited! You must grab mortality by the throat and laugh in its face! "Ahaha, I laugh in your face, mortality!"
—Oobleck's words of wisdom

Chapter 6

Amend your ignorance, and produce for me a 30-page essay by next week on the role of race in society from a historical perspective!
—Oobleck, to Jaune for giving the wrong answer
My fine students... The future is no more than the accumulation of the deeds and misdeed of the past! This is the ultimate truth! Know this! Those who take the past lightly have no future to speak of.
—Oobleck, to everyone
A perfect answer, Nikos! Brava Brava!! From you, I'd like 30 pages on the fundamental societal issues suggested by the White Fang's existence, as well as potential solutions!!
—Oobleck, to Pyrrha
