There’s nothing you can possibly do to become more deadly than to improve your facility with language. And the way you do that is by reading, especially great things, and by writing, and by thinking, and by speaking, for that matter. But how could that not be viewed as absolutely central to what education is about? You want to be inarticulate and stumble over everything that you try to think and communicate? How are you going to get anywhere? You don’t even know who you are under those circumstances. You’re this massive feeling that’s expressing itself, you know, maybe in violence because you can’t find the words. And you stumble around and bump into things and you’re clunky and dull and you’re not witty. You don’t sparkle and you’re not going to get laid. Yeah. And so not unless someone feels sorry for you.
