Share this quote on facebook Walter: Well see I thought they'd be more interested in what was in a man’s head, not around his neck. Then I noticed they all wore ties. They all looked alike. They all talked alike. They all behaved alike. They were all going the same way. No matter which way they said they were going. So what was the use of teaching them history, or anything. They weren’t learning by it. They were still creating the same world problems. So I packed, got on a boat, and got away from them.
