University Boat

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or boat:

    In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    But now, our boat climbs hesitates drops
    climbs hesitates crawls back
    climbs hesitates
    O be swift
    we have always known you wanted us.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
