1. The important thing is not to stop questioning. ---Albert Einstein
2. Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these gave only life, those the art of living well. ---Aristotle
3. They were majoring in two subjects: physics and philosophy. Their choice amazed everybody but me: modern thinkers considered it unnecessary to perceive reality, and modern physicists considered it unnecessary to think. I knew better; what amazed me was that these children knew it, too. ---Ayn Rand
4. Passive acceptance of the teacher’s wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is morever the way to win the favor of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes men to seek a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position… It will be said that the joy of mental adventure must be rare, that there are few who can appreciate it, and that ordinary education can take no account of so aristocratic a
good. I do not believe this. The joy of mental adventure is far commoner in the youny than in grown men and women. Among children it is very common, and grows naturally out of the period of make –believe and fancy. It is rare in later life because everything is done to kill it during education… The wish to preserve the past rather than the hope of creating the future dominates the minds of those who control the teaching of the young. Education should not aim at passive awareness of dead facts, but at an activity directed toward the world that our efforts are to create. ---Bertrand Russell
5. Education is a paradox: knowledge is power and can provide freedom on one hand, and on the other, I feel no greater bondage and burden than from that which I have learned in my schooling. Ignorance just may be bliss. Great psychological disturbances result from the knowledge of exactly how screwed up things are. History tells us that the wise typically suffer the most. I don’t know any truly happy environmentalists, animal rights activists, or college-educated hippies. We complain to drown out our misery that is the result of what we’ve been exposed to. I think we would be happier if we never knew. But, after all, I do not regret the load which I am burdened with, only the fact that I do not
possess coping skills sufficient enough to let me be at peace with ---Brian Block
6. “Most of all, perhaps, we need an intimate knowledge of the past. Not that the past has anything magical about it, but we cannot study the future.” ---C. S. Lewis
7. Frederick Douglass taught that literary is the path from slavery to freedom. There are many kinds of slavery and many kinds of freedom. But reading is still the path. ---Carl Sagan
8. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. ---Confucius
9. [Blott said,] ‘But I look at these guys that’ve been here six, seven years, eight years, still suffering, hurt, beat up, so tired, just like I feel tired and suffer, I feel this what, dread, this dread, I see seven or eight years of unhappiness every day and day after day of tiredness and stress and suffering stretching ahead, and for what, for a chance at a like pro career that I’m starting to get this dready feeling a career in the Show means even mo
re suffering, if I’m skeletally stressed from all the grueling here by the time I get there.’ ---David Foster Wallace, “Infinite Jest”
10. The true genius shudders at incompleteness – and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be. ---Edgar Allen Poe
11. To know what to leave out and what to put in; just where and just how, ah, THAT is to have been educated in the knowledge of simplicity. ---Frank Lloyd Wright
12. You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. ---Galileo Galilei
13. We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover ti within themselves. ---Galileo Galilei
14. What office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honourable, than that of teaching? ---Harriet Martineau
15. A child’s wisdom is also wisdom. ---Jewish Proverb
16. The teacher, if indeed wise, does not bid you to enter the house of their wisdom, but leads you to the threhold of your own mind. ---Kahlil Gibran
17. We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down. ---Kurt Vonnegut
18. Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before,” Bokonon tells us. “He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. ---Kurt Vonnegut “Cat’s Cradle”
19. Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect. ---Leonardo Da Vinci
20. Truth is eternal Knowledge is changeable. It is disastrous to confuse them. ---Madeleine L’Engle
21. Never let school interfere with your education. ---Mark Twain
22. The difference between ignorant and educated people is that the latter know more facts. But that has nothing to do with whether they are stupid or intelligent. The difference between stupid and intelligent people—and this is true whether or not they are well=educated—is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. They are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations—in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward.--- Neal Stephenson, “The Diamond Age”
