“I cannot speke and loke lyke a saynct,
Use wiles for witt and make deceyt a pleasure,
And call crafft counsell, for proffet styll to paint.

With innocent blode to fede my sellff fat,
And doo most hurt where most hellp I offer.”

—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
“Placing too much importance on where a child goes rather than what he does there . . . doesn’t take into account the child’s needs or individuality, and this is true in college selection as well as kindergarten.”
