“It is written just as simply as I could do it, as I was trying to have it reach the great mass of people…I have left out all technical terminology with the hope that it would serve those people better as the bulk of the people it is intended to help most know absolutely nothing about vitamins. In fact they never have and they never will. They can understand when they are hungry that certain wild vegetables are edible.” -George Washington Carver, 1942.

“Life requires thorough preparation. Veneer isn’t worth anything; we must disabuse our people of the idea that there is a short cut to achievement; we must understand that education after all is nothing more than seeing and understanding relations of one thing to another. First you get an idea about a given thing, then you attempt to drift back to the cause. There is a life study in the attempt to determine the first causes in any given thing.”
-George Washington Carver quoted in the Black Dispatch article “Finds Rubber Forest in Tulsa” 10/13/27
