" So if we wish to cramp the moral imaginations of our children, we must tarnish the genuine heroes of our past, and at the same time place mirrors for self-adulation everywhere.

Everyone must go to college, not to learn something about Homer and Thomas Aquinas, but to be a college graduate, to be somebody. "
