Anyone who has passed through the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.

Anyone who has a child should train him to be either a physicist or a ballet dancer. Then he’ll escape.

Education has become a prisoner of contemporaneity. It is the past, not the dizzy present, that is the best door to the future.

Repetition is the mother of education.

My own experience is that a certain kind of genius among students is best brought out in bed.
