Education

17 October, 2009 by Amit Varma

Another superb quote I just came across:

When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, ‘no, I went to films.’

—Quentin Tarantino

It’s the same with books and writing, I’d say. You learn first by reading for pleasure—and then by writing. I’m not sure what you could learn in a classroom.
