"How boring these emotions are that we're caught in and can't get free of, no matter how much we want to."

Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: "You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do."

— Doris Lessing
