“Women while in college ought to have the broadest possible education.

“I recently went to my staircase at Clare College, Cambridge and there were women there! There have been a lot of convincing studies recently about the loss of productivity in the Western male. It may be that entertainment culture now is so engaging that it keeps people satisfied. We didn't have that. Science was much more fun than listening to the radio.

"Describe the Devil," and in order to get 12 points on that question one had to say that the Devil was red and had a forked tail and cloven hoofs and fangs and horns on his head. So I merrily wrote this answer down and got my 12 points. I always got straight hundreds in Bible study.” WaySaidI CanRememberOrderAnswersStudyCollegeIntellectualDevilRedDown AndDenyTailsThey SaidHornsExaminationFangsBible Study Author:Madalyn Murray O'Hair
