Famous quotes containing the words mansfield, training, school and/or hospital:

    Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change. So suffering must become Love. That is the mystery.
    —Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)

    They’ll bust you in the lobby. You look like a training poster for the narc squad.
    John Guare (b. 1938)

    It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    The sun his hand uncloses like a statue,
    Irrevocably: thereby such light is freed
    That all the dingy hospital of snow
    Dies back to ditches.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
