We Are Like Ignorant Shepherds Living On

Education Is Not Sermonizing To Children Against Their Instincts And Pleasures, But Providing A Natural Continuity Between What They Feel And What They Can And Should Be.

To Recognize That Some Of The Things Our Culture Believes Are Not True Imposes On Us The Duty Of Finding Out Which Are True And Which Are Not.

The Liberally Educated Person Is One Who Is Able To Resist The Easy And Preferred Answers, Not Because He Is Obstinate But Because He Knows Others Worthy Of Consideration.

We Witness A Strange Inversion: On The One Hand, The Endeavor To Turn The Social Contract Into A Less Calculating And More Feeling Connection Among Its Members; On The Other Hand, The Endeavor To Turn The Erotic Relationship Into A Contractual One.

There Is No Real Education That Does Not Respond To Felt Need; Anything Else Acquired Is Trifling Display.
