See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!

All I have learned, I learned from books.

Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read.

I don't believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries because most students don't have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money. I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years.

When you take the free will out of education, that turns it into schooling.

Thank goodness I was never sent to school it would have rubbed off some of the originality.

The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret.

Permanent self-development and self-education are also very important

Developing the man within comes through self- awareness and self-education

Understanding who you are within comes through self- awareness and self-education

In order to answer the question "Where am I going?" engage in self-development, self-education and development of will and firmness
