Famous quotes containing the words high, school and/or career:
“Were I as base as is the lowly plain,

Yet should the thoughts of me, your humble swain,
Ascend to heaven in honour of my love.”

I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
