“One thing I hate about the New Deal is that it is killing what, to me, is the American pioneering spirit. I simply do not know what to tell my own boys, leaving school and confronting this new world whose ideal is Security and whose practice is dependence upon government instead of upon one's self. All the old character-values seem simply insane from a practical point of view; the self-reliant, the independent, the courageous man is penalized from every direction.” KnowsMenWorldSelfCharacterSeemsGovernmentSchoolSpiritValuesHateMy OwnViewsDealsBoysPracticeOne ThingSecurityIdealsI HateIndependentKillingLeavingPoint Of ViewPracticalsInsaneCourageousNew WorldDependenceConfrontingNew DealPioneeringSelf ReliantThings I HateCourageous ManLeaving SchoolPioneering Spirit Author:Rose Wilder Lane

“My experience came before most of you were born. My school was a state school in Leeds and the headmaster usually sent students to Leeds University but he didn't normally send them to Oxford or Cambridge. But the headmaster happened to have been to Cambridge and decided to try and push some of us towards Oxford and Cambridge. So, half a dozen of us tried - not all of us in history - and we all eventually got in. So, to that extent, it [The History Boys] comes out of my own experience.” TryingHas BeensStatesSchoolBornMy OwnHalfBoysHappenedStudentsDecidedUniversityDozenOxfordCambridgeLeedsHeadmasters Author:Alan Bennett

“The whole thing of singing on my own has been accidental and random. I sang a huge amount as a kid, and I was a boy soprano. I didn't do that much classical music; I did a little bit.
