School Building

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or building:

    “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)

    “And of the other things death is a new office building filled with modern furniture,
    A wise thing, but which has no purpose for us.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
