“One of the last of the philosophers,—Connecticut gave him to the world,—he peddled first her wares, afterwards, as he declares, his brains. These he peddles still, prompting God and disgracing man, bearing for fruit his brain only, like the nut its kernel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
