It is no secret that the fruits of language study are in no sort of relation to the labour spent on teaching and learning them. -- Edward Sapir
All the teaching I had ever received had failed to make me apply such intelligence as I was possessed of, directly and vividly: there had never been any sunshine, as regards language, in the earlier grey days of learning, for the sky had always pelted with gerunds and optatives. -- E. F. Benson
