Famous quotes containing the words school and/or ceremonies:
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a womens college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“Despite compelling evidence that she will be working at 35, by choice or necessity, todays 21-year-old woman has difficulty looking beyond the ceremonies of her marriage and her babies christenings.”
—Marilyn Bender (b. 1925)
