If little else, the brain is an educational toy.
                -- Tom Robbins

If someone had told me I would be Pope one day, I would have studied harder.
                -- Pope John Paul I

If the colleges were better, if they really had it, you would need to get
the police at the gates to keep order in the inrushing multitude.  See in
college how we thwart the natural love of learning by leaving the natural
method of teaching what each wishes to learn, and insisting that you shall
learn what you have no taste or capacity for.  The college, which should
be a place of delightful labor, is made odious and unhealthy, and the
young men are tempted to frivolous amusements to rally their jaded spirits.
I would have the studies elective.  Scholarship is to be created not
by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge.  The wise
instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the
attractions the study has for himself.  The marking is a system for schools,
not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to
put on a professor.
                -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?
                -- Lily Tomlin

If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world.
                -- Wittgenstein

If while you are in school, there is a shortage of qualified personnel
in a particular field, then by the time you graduate with the necessary
qualifications, that field's employment market is glutted.
                -- Marguerite Emmons

If you are too busy to read, then you are too busy.

If you can't read this, blame a teacher.

If you resist reading what you disagree with, how will you ever acquire
deeper insights into what you believe?  The things most worth reading
are precisely those that challenge our convictions.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
                -- Derek Bok, president of Harvard
