Famous quotes containing the words grade and/or youth:
“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)
“Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.”
