Smith, Lillian (Lillian Smith)

Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college.
-- Lillian Smith

For men tied fast to the absolute, bled of their differences, drained of their dreams by authoritarian leeches until nothing but pulp is left, become a massive, sick Thing whose sheer weight is used ruthlessly by ambitious men. Here is the real enemy of the people: our own selves dehumanized into "the masses." And where is the David who can slay this giant?
-- Lillian Smith

No journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.
-- Lillian Smith

When you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die.
-- Lillian Smith
