Famous quotes containing the word mentors:
“I swear to keep the dead upon my mind,/Disdain for all time to be overglad./Among spring flowers, under summer trees./By chilling autumn waters, in the frosts/Of supercilious winter—all my days/I’ll have as mentors those reproving ghosts.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“All my days
I’ll have as mentors those reproving ghosts.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“My mentors grow old and foolish. I am afraid.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
