Famous quotes containing the words john and/or simpson:
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome about A.D. 100] hoped that teachers would be sensitive to individual differences of temperament and ability. . . . Beating, he thought, was usually unnecessary. A teacher who had made the effort to understand his pupil’s individual needs and character could probably dispense with it: “I will content myself with saying that children are helpless and easily victimized, and that therefore no one should be given unlimited power over them.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“The man who married Magdalene
Had not forgiven her.
God might pardon every sin . . .
Love is no pardoner.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
