Famous quotes containing the words school and/or year:
“Dad, if you really want to know what happened in school, then youve got to know exactly whos in the class, who rides the bus, what project theyre working on in science, and how your child felt that morning.... Without these facts at your fingertips, all you can really think to say is So how was school today? And youve got to be prepared for the inevitable answerFine. Which will probably leave you wishing that youd never asked.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“We hold on to hopes for next year every year in western Dakota: hoping that droughts will end; hoping that our crops wont be hailed out in the few rainstorms that come; hoping that it wont be too windy on the day we harvest, blowing away five bushels an acre; hoping ... that if we get a fair crop, well be able to get a fair price for it. Sometimes survival is the only blessing that the terrifying angel of the Plains bestows.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
