His family was poor, but he was a devoted student and performed menial chores in exchange for the loan of books.--From the Romance of the Three Kingdoms--
He worked his butt off, not to own books, but to be loaned books--he had to give them back after reading them! Contemplating his situation and looking at my book pile, I feel kind of dizzy:
And when I think of all the people in college, subsidized by taxes laid on the backs of the poor, who goof-off and have no idea what they'll do with their degrees, I just feel sick.
