Famous quotes containing the words johnson and/or university:
“I’m folding up my little dreams
Within my heart tonight,
And praying I may soon forget
The torture of their sight.”
—Georgia Douglas Johnson (1886–1966)
“In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
