Famous quotes containing the words community and/or school:

    “There is no finer investment for any community than putting milk into babies.”
    —Winston Churchill (1874–1965)

    “And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
    They never cared for school anyway.
    And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
    And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
