"When I was young and they packed me off to school
and they taught me how not to play the game,
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
or if they said that I was a fool.
So I left there in the morning
with their God tucked underneath my arm
their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.
And I asked this God a question
and by way of firm reply
He said, "I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays."

Jethro Tull, "Wind Up", Aqualung

books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.

- charles w. eliot, educator (1834-1926)

[hmmmm, can we now safely replace 'books' with 'computers' in the above quote?]
