Famous quotes containing the words cabin, john, middle and/or school:
“It was a very lonely spirit that looked out from under those shaggy brows and comprehended men without fully communicating with them, as if, in spite of all its genial efforts at comradeship, it dwelt apart, saw its visions of duty where no man looked on.... This strange child of the cabin kept company with invisible things, was born into no intimacy but that its own silently assembling and deploying thoughts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“You are at your very best when things are worst.”
—Raynold Gideon, U.S. screenwriter, and John Carpenter. Starman (Jeff Bridges)
