Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:

    To that high Capital, where kingly Death
    Keeps his pale court in beauty and decay,
    He came.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    After school days are over, the girls ... find no natural connection between their school life and the new one on which they enter, and are apt to be aimless, if not listless, needing external stimulus, and finding it only prepared for them, it may be, in some form of social excitement. ...girls after leaving school need intellectual interests, well regulated and not encroaching on home duties.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
