Winter Term

Famous quotes containing the words winter and/or term:

“Country acquaintances are charming only in the country and only in the summer. In the city in winter they lose half of their appeal.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the “wrong crowd” read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
