If it doesn't, it is probably starving out in the woods somewhere looking for you." Marcus further stated that he will always remember "watching Mr. Haugh eat lunch as he dissected a cat."

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or education:
“When in a serious mood, it seems to me that those people are illogical who feel an aversion toward death. As far as I can see, life consists exclusively of horrors, unpleasantnesses and banalities, now merging, now alternating.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
