Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The college, which should be a place of delightful labour, is made odious and unhealthy, and the young men are tempted to frivolous amusements to rally their jaded spirits.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Literature is the effort of man to indemnify himself for the wrongs of his condition.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“It is a sad thing to think of, but there is no doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well-informed man--that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, with everything priced above its proper value.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
I miss writing, creating, and working on bigger projects. YES to that means NO to any games of whack-a-mole.
Quote by -Tim Firris

Quote by -Paulo Coelho

Quote by -Marie Curie
“All over the world, wherever there are capitalists, freedom of the press means freedom to buy up newspapers, to buy writers, to bribe, buy and fake "public opinion" for the benefit of the bourgeoisie.”

Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
I'll tell you what I was like as a child. I was a good person. I was high-spirited but I was a big reader.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“I rarely do any back story. I often get a thick bible of back story, but I can’t use it. The back story is a tool of the writer. But I can only act what’s in the scene.”
Quote by -Ulrich Thomsen
In the long run, your human capital is your main base of competition. Your leading indicator of where you're going to be 20 years from now is how well you're doing in your education system.
