Quotes4

  • Ed Avery: God was wrong!
  • Ed Avery: Childhood is a congenital disease - and the purpose of education is to cure it.
  • Ed Avery: [of wife Lou] It's a shame that I didn't marry someone who was my intellectual equal.
  • Ed Avery: Before it's too late, we ought to get back to the real fundamentals, and I'm not just talking of primary education now. We're breeding a race of moral midgets. All this hogwash about self-expression. Permiseveness. Development patterns. Emotional security. Security, with the world ready to blow up! If the republic is to survive, we've got to get back to teaching the good old virtues of hard work and self-discipline, and a sense of duty. My friends, I tell you, we are committing harakiri every day, right here in this classroom!
