Famous quotes containing the words burroughs, middle and/or school:

    No atomic physicist has to worry, people will always want to kill other people on a mass scale. Sure, he’s got the fridge full of sausages and spring water.
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    In our calling, we have to choose; we must make our fortune either in this world or in the next, there is no middle way.
    Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    A sure proportion of rogue and dunce finds its way into every school and requires a cruel share of time, and the gentle teacher, who wished to be a Providence to youth, is grown a martinet, sore with suspicions; knows as much vice as the judge of a police court, and his love of learning is lost in the routine of grammars and books of elements.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
