"We let our young men and women go out unarmed, in a day when armor was never so necessary. By teaching them all to read, we have left them at the mercy of the printed word... they are prey to words in their emotions instead of being masters of them in their intellect." — Dorothy Sayers, The Lost Tools of Learning
"It has been the great tragedy of our time that people were taught to read and not taught to reason.” — G.K. Chesterton
If we will not do the difficult work of learning how to think, we will fall into the easy habit of feeling how to think.
