"And if they haven’t got poetry in them, there’s nothing you can do that will produce it." ― Norman MacCaig Topic(s): Education More From Norman MacCaig "I’m very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own." "In fact a lot of them I think are absolute baloney. Those Charles Olsens and people like that. At first I was interested in seeing what they were up to, what they were doing, why they were doing it. They never moved me in the way that one is moved by true poetry." "When I was asked to be Writer in Residence at Edinburgh I thought, you can’t teach poetry. This is ridiculous." More In Education "The mere imparting of information is not education."― Carter G. Woodson "The Catholic Church – it’s so difficult because I don’t want say anything offensive but it makes me very angry that religious leaders from this faith have tried to respond negatively to sexual education and to the promotion of condom use."― Emma Thompson "There is not to be found, in all history, any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men, of such unquestioned good sense, education and learning, as to secure us against all delusion in themselves."― David Hume
