Whitman/education

Famous quotes containing the words whitman and/or education:

    Once I pass’d through a populous city imprinting my brain for
    future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions,
    Yet now of all that city I remember only a woman I casually met
    there who detain’d me for love of me,
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
