Famous quotes containing the words wellington and/or college:

    “An age and a faith moving into transition,
    the dinner cold and new-baked bread a failure,”
    —Alfred Wellington Purdy (b. 1919)

    “Jerry: She’s one of those third-year girls that gripe my liver.
    Milo: Third-year girls?
    Jerry: Yeah, you know, American college kids. They come over here to take their third year and lap up a little culture. They give me a swift pain.
    Milo: Why?
    Jerry: They’re officious and dull. They’re always making profound observations they’ve overheard.”
    —Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
