Famous quotes containing the words school and/or houses:

    “We have passed the time of ... the laisser-faire [sic] school which believes that the government ought to do nothing but run a police force.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “Spooky things happen in houses densely occupied by adolescent boys. When I checked out a four-inch dent in the living room ceiling one afternoon, even the kid still holding the baseball bat looked genuinely baffled about how he possibly could have done it.”
    —Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
