Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or school:

    “It is obvious that rationality has been utterly lost in modern marriage: which is no objection to marriage, however, but rather to modernity.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Mary had a little lamb,
    Its fleece was white as snow,
    And every where that Mary went
    The lamb was sure to go;
    He followed her to school one day—
    That was against the rule,
    It made the children laugh and play,
    To see a lamb at school.”
    —Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788–1879)
