Famous quotes containing the words rocky, run, middle and/or school:
“These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles—
and rocky sure-foot trails.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
“If a woman does possess masculine virtues, we want to run away from her; and if she does not possess masculine virtues, then she runs away.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In the middle of the night, as indeed each time that we lay on the shore of a lake, we heard the voice of the loon, loud and distinct, from far over the lake. It is a very wild sound, quite in keeping with the place and the circumstances of the traveler, and very unlike the voice of a bird. I could lie awake for hours listening to it, it is so thrilling.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
