"There are Brooklines all over the country, but none is quite so Brookline as the actual Brookline."

 This one is about the actual Brookline and the school reopening debate, but there is SO much that is more broadly applicable. 

As a class, Brookline parents might be summed up as: people who can and will fluently cite to you the data about how a child’s socioeconomic circumstances and parents’ educational background actually matter more for their achievement in the long term than the specifics of their schooling. And yet they still can’t stop themselves from trying to maximize their own kid’s shot. Because, mostly, people move to Brookline for the schools.
