The formal education that I received made little sense to me.

I've never been a big believer in formal education.

I know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.

I don't know whether I much enjoyed education. I was not academically gifted.

My education was very tough.

I loved education, and, yes, I did want to go on learning.

Not to unlearn what you have learned is the most necessary kind of learning.

I didn't want to lose my sense of myself in my profession.

I was accorded the opportunity to learn by failing - albeit at the cost of a few honourable teachers' sanity - and now I realise what a rare and incredible luxury that is.
