"School is where you go between when..." - Quote by John Updike

“Golf's ultimate moral instruction directs us to find within ourselves a pivotal center of enjoyment: relax into a rhythm that fits the hills and swales, and play the shot at hand - not the last one, or the next one, but the one at your feet, in the poison ivy, where you put it.”

“A writer's self-consciousness, for which he is much scorned, is really a mode of interestedness, that inevitably turns outward.”

“The world keeps ending but new people too dumb to know it keep showing up as if the fun's just started.”

“It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wrack and ruin without fail. It is a grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty.”

“I saw that bad handwriting should be regarded as a sign of an imperfect education.”

“The education of the will is the object of our existence.”

“The chief reason for going to school is to get the impression fixed for life that there is a book side for everything.”

“I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn't cool.”

“Never let formal education get in the way of your learning.”
