Irish Thought for April 15...

Quotations

Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers.  My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them.  There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.
   -Flannery O'Connor

My main problem with this quote is that many teachers are the ones who make us read those books which should have been prevented.  I won't name names, but I love books.   I love reading.  However, I could name two books that I read for school and my intelligence suffered as a result.
