Van Nuys High

Famous quotes containing the words van and/or high:

“If ... boyhood and youth are but vanity, must it not be our ambition to become men?”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)

“There is a sort of homely truth and naturalness in some books which is very rare to find, and yet looks cheap enough. There may be nothing lofty in the sentiment, or fine in the expression, but it is careless country talk. Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, if the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty, and a very high art. Some have this merit only.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
