Howard Gardner
Image
While truth is ultimately convergent, beauty is ultimately divergent. No one can and no one should tell anyone else what that person should consider beautiful.
Howard Gardner
Image
All human beings have all of the intelligences. But we differ, for both genetic and experiential reasons, in our profile of intelligences at any moment.
Howard Gardner
Image
As a planet, we are at risk of destruction (for example, gradually by the warming of the planet or rapidly, by nuclear war or a pathogen that gets out of control). And these threats require us to work together, and not just to announce our diversity.
Howard Gardner
Image
If you think education is expensive, try estimating the cost of ignorance.
Howard Gardner
Image
We've got to do fewer things in school. The greatest enemy of understanding is coverage... You've got to take enough time to get kids deeply involved in something so they can think about it in lots of different ways and apply it.

Education is at a turning point
Howard Gardner
Image
There is no single truth, but each of the scholarly disciplines has methods which lead one ever closer to the truth.
Howard Gardner
Image
An intelligence is the biological and psychological potential to analyze information in specific ways, in order to solve problems or to create products that are valued in a culture.
Howard Gardner
Image
