Famous quotes containing the words school and/or august:

    By school age, many boys experience pressure to reveal inner feelings as humiliating. They think their mothers are saying to them, “You must be hiding something shameful.” And shucking clams is a snap compared to prying secrets out of a boy who’s decided to “clam up.”
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
