"Ah, but you are people, little she ape.  You grok it so automatically that you don't have to think about it.  Because you grew up with people.  But I didn't.

Brother Mahmoud taught me, Jubal taught me, lots of people taught me... and you taught me most of all.  Today I got my diploma - and I laughed.  That poor little monk."
