    “The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “A boy not beautiful, nor good, nor clever,
    A black cloud full of storms too hot for keeping,
    A sword beneath his mother’s heart— yet never
    Woman bewept her babe as this is weeping.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    ““... A nation has to take its natural course
    Of Progress round and round in circles
    From King to Mob to King to Mob to King
    Until the eddy of it eddies out.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
