“My idea of an educated person is one who can converse on one subject for more than two minutes.”
“It is a lovely oddity of human nature that a person is more inclined to interrupt two people in conversation than one person alone with a book.”
“Make Things rather than Persons the subjects of conversations.”
“Being a medium who can communicate with souls isn't the same as one who can interact with them. It's the difference between listening in on a conversation and changing the subject.”
“One thing has always been true: That book or that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend.”
“I suppose that in no educational institution can one become an educated person.”
