Famous quotes containing the words school and/or facts:
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
