“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Lastly, his tomb
Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
And none shall speak his name.”

—Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)
“Where village statesmen talked with looks profound,
And news much older than their ale went round.”

In our rush to accomplish great deeds quickly, we trampled on sound principles of restraint and endangered the rights of individuals.”
