Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is what happened on the banks.
If a man is fortunate he will, before he dies, gather up as much as he can of his civilized heritage and transmit it to his children.
