Sex Education (TV Series)

Episode 8 (2023)

Dan Levy: Thomas Molloy

Quotes 

• Thomas Molloy : I just wanted to say that I know I was harsh with you the last time we spoke.

  Maeve Wiley : You told me I wasn't cut out to be a writer.

  Thomas Molloy : I was just trying to push you to be better.

  Maeve Wiley : I don't think you were. And even if that is true, your words really crushed me. And I almost didn't come back because of you. And unlike most students on this campus, I haven't grown up being told I was brilliant or deserving. If I take a risk, and it doesn't work out, I don't have a safety net to fall back on, and you're going to come across other students like me, so I just want you to know that, as a teacher, your words hold a lot of power. I went home and reminded myself of what I'm made of and where I want to go. You don't get to be the gatekeeper of my dreams.
