Grade Passes

Famous quotes containing the words grade and/or passes:

    “Life begins at six—at least in the minds of six-year-olds. . . . In kindergarten you are the baby. In first grade you put down the baby. . . . Every first grader knows in some osmotic way that this is real life. . . . First grade is the first step on the way to a place in the grown-up world.”
    —Stella Chess (20th century)

    “we are the circle of the crazy ladies
    who sit in the lounge of the mental house
    and smile at the smiling woman
    who passes us each a bell,”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
