More quotes by Ivan Illich
The more time, toil, and sacrifice spent by a population in producing medicine as a commodity, the larger will be the by-product, namely, the fallacy that society has a supply of health locked away which can be mined and marketed.
Ivan Illich
At the moment of death I hope to be surprised.
Ivan Illich
If you want to change society then you must tell an alternative story.
Ivan Illich
The pupil's imagination is 'schooled' to accept service in place of value. Medical treatment is mistaken for health care, social work for the improvement of community life, police protection for safety, military poise for national security, the rat race for productive work.
Ivan Illich
The State shall make no law with respect to the establishment of education.
Ivan Illich
Learning from programmed information always hides reality behind a screen.
Ivan Illich
People need new tools to work with rather than new tools that work for them.
Ivan Illich

Ivan Illich

Ivan Illich

School prepares for the alienating institutionalization of life by teaching the need to be taught. Once this lesson is learned, people lose their incentive to grow in independence they no longer find relatedness attractive, and close themselves off to the surprises which life offers when it is not predetermined by institutional definition.
Ivan Illich
School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is.
Ivan Illich
I was recently told, 'You're a liar!' when I said to somebody I walked down the spine of the Andes. Every Spaniard in the sixteenth, seventeenth century did that. The idea that somebody could just walk! He can jog perhaps in the morning, but he can't walk anywhere! The world has become inaccessible because we drive there.
Ivan Illich
The true miracle of modern medicine is diabolical. It consists in making not only individuals but whole populations survive on inhumanly low levels of personal health.
Ivan Illich
The new experience that has replaced dignified suffering is artificially prolonged, opaque, depersonalized maintenance.
Ivan Illich
Man must choose whether to be rich in things or in the freedom to use them.
Ivan Illich
The future depends more upon our choice of institutions which support a life of action than on our developing new ideologies and technologies.
Ivan Illich
Leadership does not depend on being right.
Ivan Illich
Effective health care depends on self-care this fact is currently heralded as if it were a discovery.
Ivan Illich
