Sharp Chapel

Famous quotes containing the words sharp and/or chapel:

    The A B C of being,
    The ruddy temper, the hammer
    Of red and blue, the hard sound
    Steel against intimation the sharp flash,
    The vital, arrogant, fatal, dominant X.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    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 women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.
    Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
