" I caught a glimmer of an abysmal truth. The people here wanted to pass the time as comfortably as possible, without having to deal with questions that couldn't be answered with a simple 'yes', 'no', or 'I don't know'. No one around me was doing anything except the best imitation they could of what they'd seen other people do before. Parents imitated their parents, kindergarten teachers other kindergarten teachers, pupils other pupils, and clergymen and educators each other and their books. The only variation was in what they forgot to imitate. "
