Hackney Academy

Famous quotes containing the words hackney and/or academy:

    Now hardly here and there an hackney coach
    Appearing, showed the ruddy morn’s approach.
    Now Betty from her master’s bed had flown,
    And softly stole to discompose her own;
    The slipshod ‘prentice from his master’s door
    Had pared the dirt, and sprinkled round the floor.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    The academy is not paradise. But learning is a place where paradise can be created.
    bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
