Famous quotes containing the words national, high and/or school:
“National isolation breeds national neurosis.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“There is a high road to Heaven which few people travel; Hell hath no door, but many manage to burrow their way in.”
—Chinese proverb.
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
