I'm being immature, rude...
"I'm being immature, rude, and horribly outspoken. I'm a child, an idiot, and I suck. I know. I'm not cute, or funny. I'm not trying to be smart, or brilliant, or witty. Disappointing, huh?" -Black Beyond; Cheap Dirt

It is because modern education...
"It is because modern education is so seldom inspired by a great hope that it so seldom achieves great results. The wish to preserve the past rather than the hope of creating the future dominates the minds of those who control the teaching of the young." -Bertrand Russell

The troubles of the young...
"The troubles of the young are soon over; they leave no external mark. If you wound the tree in its youth the bark will quickly cover the gash; but when the tree is very old, peeling the bark off, and looking carefully, you will see the scar there still. All that is buried is not dead. The barb in the arrow of childhood's suffering is this--its intense loneliness, its intense ignorance." -Oliver Schriener; Story of an African Farm
