School Year

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or year:

“A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Death’s a sad bone; bruised, you’d say,

and yet she waits for me, year after year,”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
