Learning Time

Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or time:

    It is no small mischief to a boy, that many of the best years of his life should be devoted to the learning of what can never be of any real use to any human being. His mind is necessarily rendered frivolous and superficial by the long habit of attaching importance to words instead of things; to sound instead of sense.
    William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    Alicia Huberman: Look, I’ll make it easy for you. The time has come when you must tell me that you have a wife and two adorable children, and this madness between us can’t go on any longer.
    T.R. Devlin: I bet you’ve heard that line often enough.
    Alicia: Right below the belt every time. Oh that isn’t fair, Dev.
    Devlin: Skip it. We have other things to talk about. We have a job.
    Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
