Famous quotes containing the words bible and/or college:
“You don’t know Paul: he’s in the Bible too.
He is the fellow who theologized
Christ almost out of Christianity.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
