Cohen

Famous quotes containing the word cohen:

    Seven to eleven is a huge chunk of life, full of dulling and forgetting. It is fabled that we slowly lose the gift of speech with animals, that birds no longer visit our windowsills to converse. As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
    —Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    History is a needle
    for putting men asleep
    anointed with the poison
    Of all they want to keep.
    —Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)

    Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
