Quotes by Dan Billany (?)

“When I try to analyse my delight in seeing foreign towns, I find that it isn’t so much the differences from home which strike me, as the similarities.”
― Dan Billany, The Trap

“Homework is a barbaric ritual: see Veblen, ‘Theory of the Leisure Class’, chapter on The Higher Learning. Chain of ostensible reasons: — if the children don’t do homework, they won’t pass the examinations: if they don’t pass the exams, they won’t be able to make a living. If it’s untrue, what an imposition. If true, what an imposition!”
― Dan Billany, The Trap

“A human boy, and all civilization could do for him was to smash him between two blocks of concrete. In the thirteenth year of his life, we were putting him into a hole in the ground so that he shouldn’t rot on the surface — that and no more. Let those who helped to commit the crime expiate it.”
― Dan Billany, The Trap
