Famous quotes containing the words hollow, hills, central, school and/or district:

    “It was the most wild and desolate region we had camped in, where, if anywhere, one might expect to meet with befitting inhabitants, but I heard only the squeak of a nighthawk flitting over. The moon in her first quarter, in the fore part of the night, setting over the bare rocky hills garnished with tall, charred, and hollow stumps or shells of trees, served to reveal the desolation.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In the hollow Lotos land to live and lie reclined
    On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “The best laws cannot make a constitution work in spite of morals; morals can turn the worst laws to advantage. That is a commonplace truth, but one to which my studies are always bringing me back. It is the central point in my conception. I see it at the end of all my reflections.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.”
    —Ivan Illich (b. 1926)

    “Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)
