Whitman High School

Famous quotes containing the words whitman, high and/or school:

    This face is a dog’s snout sniffing for garbage,
    Snakes nest in that mouth, I hear the sibilant threat.
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    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)

    East, west, north, south, or like a school broke up,
    Each hurries toward his home and sporting-place.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
