The languor of Youth - how unique and quintessential it is! How quickly, how irrecoverably, lost!
Evelyn WaughThe trouble with modern education is you never know how ignorant people are. With anyone over fifty you can be fairly confident what's been taught and what's been left out. But these young people have such an intelligent, knowledgeable surface, and then the crust suddenly breaks and you look down into depths of confusion you didn't know existed.
Evelyn WaughThe splendid thing about education is that everyone wants it. Like influenza, you can give it away without losing any of it yourself.
