Famous quotes containing the words school and/or year:
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a womens college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“A man I praise that once in Taras Halls
Said to the woman on his knees, Lie still,
My hundredth year is at an end. I think
That something is about to happen, I think
That the adventure of old age begins....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
