Twain was a genius.
I once had a discussion about Gilgamesh with my world lit. professor during class. He and I talked about it for over half the class period. Even though we were studying the story in class, not one thing we talked about was in the lesson plan. I've had that book in my collection since I was 12 years old and have done lots of research on it. He was impressed to say the least. Many of the other students in class had a dumbfounded look on their faces. You could tell our discussion was going over their heads.
Education is a journey one must want to take, and most of the time it doesn't take place in a class room.
