    be sure of this.
    Your crimes
    don’t burn me
    as much as these clever words
    empty of all good feeling.

    To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil’s soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.
    —Muriel Spark (b. 1918)
