Quote by Geroge Lorimer

Colleges don't make fools, they only develop them.

Colleges don't make fools, they only develop them.

Summary

This quote implies that colleges cannot necessarily turn individuals into fools, as being a fool is not a direct result of education. However, colleges can contribute to the development and refinement of foolish tendencies that individuals may already possess. In other words, colleges can provide an environment where foolish behaviors or tendencies can be further nurtured or amplified, rather than solely shaping someone into a fool. The quote highlights the idea that while colleges may have a role in the development of individuals, it is ultimately the individual's choices and characteristics that determine their level of wisdom or foolishness.

America is said to have the highest per capita boredom of any spot on earth! We know that because we have the greatest number of artificial amusements of any country.People have become so empty that they can't even entertain themselves. They have to pay other people to amuse them, to make them laugh, to try to make them feel warm and happy and comfortable for a few minutes, to try to lose that awful, frightening, hollow feeling--that terrible, dreaded feeling of being lost and alone.
