"My time at Cambridge was a rather desolate time. I never much enjoyed being
educated, and have continued to believe that education is a rather overrated
experience. Perhaps this isn't the most suitable place in the world to say
that, but such is my opinion. I think that it is part of the liberal dream
that somehow or other - and it was certainly my father's view - people, in
becoming educated, instead of on Sundays racing their dogs or studying
racing forms, or anything like that, would take to singing madrigals or
reading Paradise Lost aloud. This is another dream that didn't quite come
true".

Fascinating.

Still, on the other hand, water is water, east is east and west is west and
if you take cranberries and stew them like apple sauce they taste much more
like prunes than rhubarb does.

Colin.
