Famous quotes containing the words school and/or talented:
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honour as deserving real distinction are those who remain in obscurity.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
