Returning to School? - What the Experts Say
1) Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes. Norman Douglas
2) Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and higher edu-cation positively fortifies it. Stephen Vizinczey
3) Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.BF Skinner
4) If little else, the brain is an educational toy. Tom Robbins
5) America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in ayear than a professional athlete earns in a whole week. Evan Esar
