Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or school:
“Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:t hou takest away their
breath, they die, and return to their dust.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm CIV (l. CIV, 29)
“Dad, if you really want to know what happened in school, then you’ve got to know exactly who’s in the class, who rides the bus, what project they’re working on in science, and how your child felt that morning.... Without these facts at your fingertips, all you can really think to say is “So how was school today?” And you’ve got to be prepared for the inevitable answer—”Fine.” Which will probably leave you wishing that you’d never asked.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
