If you don't know the quote, look it up.
Another quote "If you live long enough, you'll see everything". I am almost 70, and I just realized that I have not yet seen everything. What I have seen so far disgusts me. I think I get what the conservatives are trying to accomplish: a stupid, dumb ed down electorate. "Elitist, college educated, Liberals". What was that recent quote from Santorum about Obama wanting everyone to go to college? The Oligarchy does not want an educated citizenry. Period! When people are educated they start to look at their world in a different way; they start to apply reason, objectivity, rationality, to the reality that is right in front of them. The Buddha said "the truth is always right in front of you, you only need to see it" (a paraphrase; don't remember the exact words). Uneducated folks are easily manipulated, hence, "treat them like mushrooms; feed them bullshit and keep them in the dark".
Went to college in my 30's, came from a blue collar, working class environment. Going to College was the best thing that ever happened to me: it expanded my world, my view of what was going on. If you are looking for wisdom, don't look here, look into your own heart. Look without prejudice, bias, preconceived ideas: look as a child looks. A child looks at the reality to learn, to see it for what it is , to learn how to survive.
Hey, just the ramblings of some "old fart", nothing to learn here just keep moving along; step away from your consciousness, pay no attention to what your own eyes, ears, and intellect are telling you.
