Education Quote by Keith Lesmeister
““Alice's mother used to host wild edible classes that would attract a lot of people, but this was a small town and once you teach those interested few everything you know, then there's no one left to teach. It becomes, after a while, a strategy for convincing others that your way of life is important.””
