School Children

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or children:

    But I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all. I do not belong to the sobbing school of negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal.... No, I do not weep at the world—I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1907–1960)

    A year at the breast is quite enough; children who are suckled longer are said to grow stupid, and I am all for popular sayings.
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
