“There is a whole school of thought that holds bureaucracy tends to expand according to a kind of perverse but inescapable inner logic. The argument runs as follows: if you create a bureaucratic structure to deal with some problem, that structure will invariably end up creating other problems that seem as if they, too, can only be solved by bureaucratic means. In universities, this is sometimes informally referred to as the "creating committees to deal with the problem of too many committees" problem.”

“Durante o segundo ano sofreu uma mudança. Tinha-se mudado para dentro do colégio e este começou a assimilá-lo. Talvez passasse os dias como dantes, mas quando os portões se fechavam sobre ele à noite iniciava-se um novo processo. Mesmo quando ainda era caloiro fez a importante descoberta de que os homens crescidos comportam-se educadamente uns com os outros, se não houver qualquer motivo em contrário. (...) As atitudes dos professores eram mais extraordinárias ainda. Maurice estava mesmo só a precisar de um ambiente assim para acalmar. Não lhe agradava ser bruto e grosseiro. Era contra a sua natureza. Mas isso tinha sido necessário no colégio ou ele não teria aguentado, e julgara que comportamentos assim seriam ainda mais necessários no maior campo de batalha que era a Universidade. ----------------------------------------------------- p.32, MAURICE, E.M. FORSTER”

“At present, a good many men engaged in scientific pursuits, and who have signally failed in gaining recognition among their fellows, are endeavoring to make reputations among the churches by delivering weak and vapid lectures upon the 'harmony of Genesis and Geology.' Like all hypocrites, these men overstate the case to such a degree, and so turn and pervert facts and words that they succeed only in gaining the applause of other hypocrites like themselves. Among the great scientists they are regarded as generals regard sutlers who trade with both armies. Surely the time must come when the wealth of the world will not be wasted in the propagation of ignorant creeds and miraculous mistakes. The time must come when churches and cathedrals will be dedicated to the use of man; when minister and priest will deem the discoveries of the living of more importance than the errors of the dead; when the truths of Nature will outrank the 'sacred' falsehoods of the past, and when a single fact will outweigh all the miracles of Holy Writ. Who can over estimate the progress of the world if all the money wasted in superstition could be used to enlighten, elevate and civilize mankind? When every church becomes a school, every cathedral a university, every clergyman a teacher, and all their hearers brave and honest thinkers, then, and not until then, will the dream of poet, patriot, philanthropist and philosopher, become a real and blessed truth.”

“Finally, we are getting to know about our education system that the educated people are running here and there with their degrees for jobs and employment while the dropouts are becoming self-employed by investing in self-education and doing what matters in their life and making money as early as a teen. The more you get deeper in understanding why your education has failed you the more it points out to the system or program which created for you to become ignorant and debtful.”

“[D]uring all my university years in the U.S. (doing a master’s and a doctorate degrees), I often noticed that young people were totally quiet when issues like wars and crimes against humanity in the Middle East came up, but they were very active and vocal when issues like recycling, environment, or global warming came up. While all these issues are important, the silences and complicity displayed on some issues rather than others; the selectivity of expressing resistance and rage are hypocritical, to say the least. I found that many choose to be active in what one could consider safe and convenient causes. How can I take seriously enraged rich and privileged students who want us to protect the environment by recycling a plastic bottle, yet it never occurs to them that all the bombs and weapons used in the Middle East are doing a serious damage to their beloved planet? Last time I checked we all live on one planet, unless these privileged students truly live on a different planet.”

“I was in school, but I wasn't into school. I wasn't doing what I wanted to be doing in school, which was film studies. That was what I intended on doing, but I didn't go away to a university because I wanted to stay in L.A. and audition while I took classes, so I elected to go to a community college and just take G.E. courses. It was terrible.”
