Recently I came upon the following sentence, which reminded me of why I
dreamed of becoming a writer; but sadly, never achieved such exquisite
sculpture as this:

The spread of secondary and latterly of tertiary education has created a
large population of people, often with well-developed literary and
scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to
undertake analytical thought.

-- Peter Medawar
