I absolutely cannot see how one can later make up for having failed to go to a good school at the proper time.

What does one learn in a hard school? Obeying and commanding.

Friedrich Nietzsche
School, Doe, Blame

Let us guard against saying that there are laws in nature. There are merely necessities: there is no one who commands, no one whoobeys, no one who transgresses.
