Famous quotes containing the words english, high and/or school:

    “Men must speak English who can write Sanskrit; they must speak a modern language who write, perchance, an ancient and universal one.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I laugh at the lore and pride of man
    At the sophist schools, and the learned clan;
    For what are they all, in their high conceit,
    When man in the bush with God may meet?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
