"It's not that I feel that school is a good idea gone wrong, but a wrong idea from the word go. It's a nutty notion that we can have a place where nothing but learning happens, cut off from the rest of life."

"The purpose of school should not be to prepare students for more school. We should be seeking to have fully engaged students now."

"Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent."

"I don't believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries because most students don't have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money. I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years."

"Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty."

"Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in."

"Getting an education is an awfully wearing process!"

"Experience is the opposite of education."

"Education is the process of selling someone on books."

"Under the United States Constitution, the federal government has no authority to hold states "accountable"for their education performance...In the free society envisioned by the founders, schools are held accountable to parents, not federal bureaucrats."

"The more you read, the better you are informed."

"Possibilities exist for you, to educate yourself, to the highest degree."

"Night clubs are where Americans learn the laws of motion."

"I want students to engage the way a clutch on a car gets engaged: an engine can be running, making appropriate noises, burning fuel and creating exhaust fumes, but unless the clutch is engaged, nothing moves. It's all sound and smoke, and nobody gets anywhere."

"Scoring well on tests is the sort of happy thing that gets the school district the greenbacks they crave. Understanding and appreciating the material are secondary."
