I believed in studying just because I knew education was a privilege. It was the discipline of study, to get into the habit of doing something that you don't want to do.

My whole life, I had been taught to read and study, to seek understanding in knowledge of history, of cultures.

I knew I wanted considerable education so that I wouldn't have to work as hard as my parents.

The habits of study in which I have been brought up have done much to support me. I never allow myself to be one moment unoccupied.

I did the first study because I had been exposed to something that I took to be important and interesting - this thought reform process - in the military.

I became an academic so that I could share my knowledge and experience with students.

I went to college because I didn't have anywhere else to go and it was a fabulous hang. And while I was there I was exposed to this world that I didn't know was possible.

I study to learn, to be an educated person.

I was sent to a finishing school, which didn't last long when mother found out how badly chaperoned we were. Then I 'came out' before going to a domestic science school.

All my life, I just felt that I should have finished my education.
