Higher Party School

Famous quotes containing the words higher, party and/or school:

    Society cannot do without cultivated men. As soon as the first wants are satisfied, the higher wants become imperative.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    When anyone apologizes to us he has to do it very expertly: otherwise we might easily come to see ourselves as the guilty party and experience unpleasant feelings.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    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)
