Harvey Cushing
Image
Standardization does not produce although admirable as an efficiency method.
Reginald Fessenden

Fredric Jameson

America's Facebook generation shows a submission to standardization that I haven't seen before. The American adventure has always been about people forgetting their former selves - Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, Jack Kerouac went on the road.

This is the mountain standing in the way of any true Negro art in America - this urge within the race toward whiteness, the desire to pour racial individuality into the mold of American standardization, and to be as little Negro and as much American as possible.
Langston Hughes
Image
When they say accountability, they mean surveillance and standardization.
Marc Lamont Hill
Image
EU expansion is, unfortunately, continuing without a constitution, as a gradual process of standardization - and that's far more dangerous. It is very difficult to slow down this process, which is being pushed forward without significant public participation.
Vaclav Klaus
Image
I believe in standardizing automobiles. I do not believe in standardizing human beings. Standardization is a great peril which threatens American culture.
Albert Einstein
Image
We need standards with flexibility, not standardization with force if we are to get the best from our teachers.
Andy Hargreaves
