Owen School

Famous quotes containing the words owen and/or school:

    I tried to peg out soldierly,—no use!
    One dies of war like any old disease.
    —Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. 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)
