Famous quotes containing the word schools:

    “Absolute catholicity of taste is not without its dangers. It is only an auctioneer who should admire all schools of art.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “If Jesus, or his likeness, should now visit the earth, what church of the many which now go by his name would he enter? Or, if tempted by curiosity, he should incline to look into all, which do you think would not shut the door in his face?... It seems to me ... that as one who loved peace, taught industry, equality, union, and love, one towards another, Jesus were he alive at this day, would recommend you to come out of your churches of faith, and to gather into schools of knowledge.”
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    “In schools all over the world, little boys learn that their country is the greatest in the world, and the highest honor that could befall them would be to defend it heroically someday. The fact that empathy has traditionally been conditioned out of boys facilitates their obedience to leaders who order them to kill strangers.”
    —Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
