Famous quotes containing the word fullerton:

    ... it is easier for a camel to pass through the needle’s eye than for anything really chic to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    At no time in history ... have the people who are not fit for society had such a glorious opportunity to pretend that society is not fit for them. Knowledge of the slums is at present a passport to society—so much the parlor philanthropists have achieved—and all they have to do is to prove that they know their subject. It is an odd qualification to have pitched on; but gentlemen and ladies are always credulous, especially if you tell them that they are not doing their duty.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    Ignorance of what real learning is, and a consequent suspicion of it; materialism, and a consequent intellectual laxity—both of these have done destructive work in the colleges.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
