Francis “Frank” McCourt was an Irish-American teacher and writer best known for Angela’s Ashes, a tragicomic memoir of the misery and squalor of his childhood, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize.
Here is a compilation of Frank McCourt Quotes:
1. The sky is the limit. You never have the same experience twice.
2. I had no accomplishments except surviving. But that isn’t enough in the community where I came from, because everybody was doing it. So I wasn’t prepared for America, where everybody is glowing with good teeth and good clothes and food.
3. I had to get rid of any idea of hell or any idea of the afterlife. That’s what held me, kept me down. So now I just have nothing but contempt for the institution of the church.
5. The main thing I am interested in is my experience as a teacher.
6.I admire certain priests and nuns who go off on their own and do God’s work on their own, who help in the ghettos, but as far as the institution of the church is concerned, I think it is despicable.
8. You feel a sense of urgency, especially at my advanced age, when you’re staring into the grave.
