Famous quotes containing the words york and/or school:
“A hundred times have I thought New York is a catastrophe ... it is a beautiful catastrophe.”
—Le Corbusier [Charle Édouard Jeanne] (1887–1965)
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
