High School Est

Famous quotes containing the words high, school and/or est:

    This is of the loon—I do not mean its laugh, but its looning,—is a long-drawn call, as it were, sometimes singularly human to my ear,—hoo-hoo-ooooo, like the hallooing of a man on a very high key, having thrown his voice into his head. I have heard a sound exactly like it when breathing heavily through my own nostrils, half awake at ten at night, suggesting my affinity to the loon; as if its language were but a dialect of my own, after all.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.

    To be is to be perceived [Esse est percipi].
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)
