High School Boys

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

    In rhetoric, this art of omission is a chief secret of power, and, in general, it is proof of high culture to say the greatest matters in the simplest way.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums ... who find prison so soul-destroying.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    Saving lives is not a top priority in the halls of power. Being compassionate and concerned about human life can cause a man to lose his job. It can cause a woman not to get the job to begin with.
    Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 2 (1991)
