Famous quotes containing the words school and/or grades:

    I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.
    Zelda Fitzgerald (1900–1948)

    There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
