Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes. --Annie Dillard |

| Whenever is found what is
called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery. --Benjamin Disraeli |

We are students of words; we
are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation
rooms, for ten or fifteen years,
and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing. |
My schooling not
only failed to teach me what it professed to be teaching, but prevented me from being
educated to an extent
which infuriates me when I think of all I might have learned at home by myself. |
