I obtained a job at the Library of Congress. I loved books, so I felt at home. I was going to end up, I thought, majoring in English and teach at the college level. Tom Glazer
I'd probably want to teach at university, because children would drive me insane. I suspect it would be English literature, Shakespeare and so forth. I've always been deeply, deeply in love with that kind of thing. Stephen Fry
Oscar Wilde quote: "If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the Irish..."
If one could only teach the English how to talk, and the Irish how to listen, society here would be quite civilized. Oscar Wilde
