Bingen School

Famous quotes containing the words bingen and/or school:

    O Holy Wisdom, Soaring Power, encompass us with wings unfurled,
    and carry us, encircling all, above, below, and through the world.
    —Hildegard Von Bingen (1078–1179)

    I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.
    Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
