Famous quotes containing the word institution:

    La la la, Oh music swims back to me
    and I can feel the tune they played
    the night they left me
    in this private institution on a hill.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Every institution not only carries within it the seeds of its own dissolution, but prepares the way for its most hated rival.
    —W.R. (William Ralph)
