Famous quotes containing the words school and/or achievements:

    A school is not a factory. Its raison d’ĂȘtre is to provide opportunity for experience.
    —J.L. (James Lloyd)

    When science, art, literature, and philosophy are simply the manifestation of personality, they are on a level where glorious and dazzling achievements are possible, which can make a man’s name live for thousands of years. But above this level, far above, separated by an abyss, is the level where the highest things are achieved. These things are essentially anonymous.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
