Cohen

Famous quotes containing the word cohen:

    The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    History is a needle
    for putting men asleep
    anointed with the poison
    Of all they want to keep.
    —Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
    —Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
