Famous quotes containing the words street, middle and/or school:
“Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and thats what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw. Its just extraordinary that we should have been given these peculiarities.... Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it.”
—Diane Arbus (19231971)
“I never yet feared those men who set a place apart in the middle of their cities where they gather to cheat one another and swear oaths which they break.”
—Herodotus (c. 484424 B.C.)
“Dad, if you really want to know what happened in school, then youve got to know exactly whos in the class, who rides the bus, what project theyre working on in science, and how your child felt that morning....

Which will probably leave you wishing that youd never asked.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
