You helped prepare us for our future Mr. Bernard Brown. I applaud you!  smallawesome

For me, it was the English Lit teacher, Helen Gilmer. She made us read all those, plus "City" and the surrounding series by Clifford D. Simak, and I thank her for that now - it gave us a heads-up on what was to come.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
