With respect to the development of powers devoted to coping with specific scientific and economic problems we may say that the child should be growing in manhood. With respect to sympathetic curiosity, unbiased responsiveness, and openness of mind, we may say that the adult should be growing in childlikeness.
John Dewey
Image
Writings scatter to the winds blank checks in an insane charge. And were they not such flying leaves, there would be no purloined letters.
Jacques Lacan
Image
Obedience is, indeed, founded on a kind of freedom, else it would become mere subjugation, but that freedom is only granted that obedience may be more perfect and thus while a measure of license is necessary to exhibit the individual energies of things, the fairness and pleasantness and perfection of them all consist in their restraint.
John Ruskin
Image
The phenomenological world is not the bringing to explicit expression of a pre-existing being, but the laying down of being. Philosophy is not the reflection of a pre-existing truth, but, like art, the act of bringing truth into being.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Image
Despite the never ending play of conscious correction and instruction, the surrounding atmosphere and spirit is in the end the chief agent in forming manners.
John Dewey
Image
Drawing is the necessary beginning of everything [in Art], and not having it, one has nothing.
Giorgio Vasari

Private property is one of the best institutions which has ever evolved, to protect us from the bullying of others.
Roger Scruton
Image
Styles may change, details may come and go, but the broad demands of aesthetic judgement are permanent.
Roger Scruton
Image
Make yourselves nests of pleasant thoughts. None of us knows what fairy palaces we may build of beautiful thought-proof against all adversity. Bright fancies, satisfied memories, noble histories, faithful sayings, treasure houses of precious and restful thoughts, which care cannot disturb, nor pain make gloomy, nor poverty take away from us.
John Ruskin
Image
Variety is a positive requisite even in the character of our food.
John Ruskin
Image
I wish they would use English instead of Greek words. When I want to know why a leaf is green, they tell me it is coloured by chlorophyll, which at first sounds very instructive but if they would only say plainly that a leaf is coloured green by a thing which is called green leaf, we should see more precisely how far we had got.
John Ruskin
Image
The full meaning of a language is never translatable into another. We may speak several languages but one of them always remains the one in which we live. In order completely to assimilate a language it would be necessary to make the world which it expresses one's own and one never does belong to two worlds at once.
Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Image
Do not think it wasted time to submit yourselves to any influence which may bring upon you any noble feeling.
John Ruskin
Image
It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.
John Ruskin
Image
The path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers but they rise behind her steps, not before them.
John Ruskin
Image
If the eye is constantly greeted by harmonious objects, having elegance of form and color, a standard of taste naturally grows up.
John Dewey
Image
Plato defined a slave as one who accepts from another the purposes which control his conduct. This condition obtains even where there is no slavery in the legal sense. It is found wherever men are engaged in activity which is socially serviceable, but whose service they do not understand and have no personal interest in.
John Dewey
Image
The interaction of knowledge and skills with experience is key to learning.
John Dewey
Image
A thing is worth what it can do for you, not what you choose to pay for it.
John Ruskin
Image
Education as growth or maturity should be an ever-present process.
John Dewey
Image
How many students ... were rendered callous to ideas, and how many lost the impetus to learn because of the way in which learning was experienced by them?
