When i am alone i can become invisible. i can sit on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds, until the foxes run by unconcerned. i can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing.

Ordinarily, i go to the woods alone. when i'm alone i can hear the almost unhearable sound of the roses singing. if you have ever gone to the woods with me, i must love you very much.
Love You Rose Singing
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

You cannot take the mild approach to the weeds in your mental garden. you have got to hate weeds enough to kill them. weeds are not something you handle; weeds are something you devastate.

And still i look for the men who will dare to be roses of england wild roses of england men who are wild roses of england with metal thorns, beware! but still more brave and still more rare the courage of rosiness in a cabbage world fragrance of roses in a stale stink of lies rose-leaves to bewilder the clever fools and rose-briars to strangle the machine.

One must search diligently to find laudatory comments on education (other than those pious platitudes which are fodder for commencement speeches). it appears that most persons who have achieved fame and success in the world of ideas are cynical about formal education. these people are a select few, who often achieved success in spite of their education, or even without it. as has been said, the clever largely educate themselves, those less able aren't sufficiently clever or imaginative to benefit much from education.
