Burke School

Famous quotes containing the words burke and/or school:

    Young man, there is America, which at this day serves for little more than to amuse you with stories of savage men and uncouth manners.
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
