State Schools

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or schools:

“... writers do not find subjects: subjects find them. There is not so much a search as a state of open susceptibility.”

“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
