Simply Connected Lie

Famous quotes containing the words simply, connected and/or lie:

    We like the idea of childhood but are not always crazy about the kids we know. We like it, that is, when we are imagining our own childhoods. So part of our apparent appreciation of youth is simply envy.
    C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
