Sloan Wilson Quotations

You won't understand me unless you understand that I am an odd ball.

You don't really know much until you get to be 70.

The only real reason to write professionally is that you love it enough.

When it comes to sending my children to college, I want the best education. It's the only thing I'm really leaving them - a good education.

The world's treated me awfully well, and I guess it's crept into my work.

I don't have any contempt for the men who have to have jobs and have to commute and have to pay the mortgage and have to get their kids an education. To me, that's the backbone of America, to coin a phrase.

A man who wants time to read and write must let the grass grow long.

When you have children, you can't say you're not interested in money.

The American middle class always wants to be upper class and is scared to death of being lower class. It's a highly mobile group of people. They're not like the people that want to be shopkeepers forever, have always been shopkeepers and want always to be shopkeepers. These people mostly are insulted by being called middle class.

In my opinion, much of the so-called science of "education" was invented as a necessary mechanism for enabling semi-educated people to act as tolerable teachers.
