Famous quotes containing the words school, spelling and/or bees:

    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)

    As to spelling the very frequent word though with six letters instead of two, it is impossible to discuss it, as it is outside the range of common sanity. In comparison such a monstrosity as phlegm for flem is merely disgusting.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Asking to die:
    “To die, dear God, before a scum of doubt
    Smear the whole universe, and smudge it out.”
    Meanwhile the bees fumbled among the flowers.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
