"Before I went to school I was free to believe, for example, that Shakespeare was born in 1224.

But finally, I was told that Shakespeare was not born in 1224 but rather in 1564. I found out that education in truth was really restricting my freedom to fall into error.

Before I went to school I also thought that "H2O" was really the initials of a spy.

Then I fell into the hands of a reactionary teacher. He stopped all of my liberalism.

Do you know what he told me H2O meant?

He said it was the symbol for water.

Thus, the more I studied, the freer I became to know error."

- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.
