“I feel that all knowledge should be in the free-trade zone. Your knowledge, my knowledge, everybody's knowledge should be made use of. I think people who refuse to use other people's knowledge are making a big mistake. Those who refuse to share their knowledge with other people are making a great mistake, because we need it all. I don't have any problem about ideas I got from other people. If I find them useful, I'll just ease them right in and make them my own.” PeopleIfsThinkingNeedsFeelsShouldMadeIdeasUseProblemBigsCommunityMy OwnMistakeShareTradeRefuseEaseZoneFree TradeGreat MistakesBig MistakeTrade Zone Book:We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change Source: We Make the Road by Walking: Conversations on Education and Social Change
“I also knew that if people have a position on something and you try to argue them into changing it, you’re going to strengthen that position. If you want to change people’s ideas, you shouldn’t try to convince them intellectually. What you need to do is get them into a situation where they’ll have to act on ideas not argue about them.” PeopleIfsWantNeedsTryingIdeasSituationPositionArguingConvince Author:Myles Horton
