As you know from school, its when you have not prepared for the test that you have the fear of failing. And if you have prepared, even if you fail, youve done your best. – Alice Walker
My father was an autodidact. It wasnt a middle-class house. Shopkeepers are aspirant. He paid for me to go to private school. He was denied an education – he had a horrible childhood. He got a place at a grammar school and wasnt allowed to go. – Kate Atkinson
