Although teachers do care and do work very, very hard, the institution is psychopathic-it has no conscience. it rings a bell and the young man in the middle of writing a poem must close his notebook and move to a different cell where he must memorize that humans and monkeys derive from a common ancestor.

All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated....as therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all....no man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because i am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
