Everyone has or had a teacher like Horace. Someone who will rattle off random analogies and absurd comparisions, someone who spouts stuff that just doesn’t make any sense, and whose lessons are always accompanied by some kind of crazy anecdote. And yet, despite this, he occasionally (very occasionally) manages to utter some words of wisdom, worth cherishing for…well, for about an hour.

Here we’ll post all our Horace-isms. If your teachers, past or present, have imparted something you think is worthy of sharing, email us at monumentaloddities@gmail.com, (include the first name of the teacher in question if you know it) and we’ll put it up.
