Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or school:

    “During a walk or in a book or in the middle of an embrace, suddenly I awake to a stark amazement at everything. The bare fact of existence paralyzes me... To be alive is so incredible that all I can do is to lie still and merely breathe—like an infant on its back in a cot. It is impossible to be interested in anything in particular while overhead the sun shines or underneath my feet grows a single blade of grass.”
    —W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)

    “The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
