We have to abandon the idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How can it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 - and half the things he knows at 40 hadn't been discovered when he was 20?
Arthur C. Clarke

Conrad Aiken

Alas! they had been friends in youth; but whispering tongues can poison truth.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
