پاسخ سال 1989 به پرسش "من 6 سال را در دانشگاه صرف کردم تا فقط این تکه کاغذ را بگیرم!" برای مخاطبین غیر ایرانی):
Fred may say, "
l spent six years at university just to get this bit of paper!" What he is failing to acknowledge is that he also met a lot of people, learned a lot about himself and had a lot of experiences that he otherwise would not have had. It is not the bit of paper that is important but the journey he took.
