The pace at which people are taking to digital technology defies our stereotypes of age, education, language and income.

Between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four, I must have read a whole library.

Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.

Educators take something simple and make it complicated. Communicators take something complicated and make it simple.

Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.

College isn’t in everyone’s hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn’t mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.

I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets.

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.

I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it’s just depressing to me. The poor little kids.

The fact is, I was never too bright in school. I ain’t ashamed of it, though. I mean, how much do school principals make a month?

You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.

Had I pursued my education long enough to learn all the conventional dos and don’ts of starting a business, I often wonder how different my life and career might have been.

Information is not knowledge.

Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.

I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.

I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils.
