Quote #8 on Education Struggle Quotes >> School and Oppression

“To get one beating, and then to get another and far fiercer one on top of it, for being so unwise as to show that the first had not hurt — that was quite natural. The gods are jealous, and when you have good fortune you should conceal it.”
