“The sole fact of having a school to train creative people is absolute lunacy... The idea of 'pedagogical vision' is ignoble, it has nothing to do with art, it's contrary to art. I really believe in teaching, despite what I say.” PeopleBelieveArtIdeasFactsSchoolEducationVisionCreativeTeachingAbsolutesTrainContraryDespiteSoleCreative PeopleIgnobleLunacy Author:Christian Boltanski
“Unless a woman has a decided pleasure and facility in teaching, an honest knowledge of everything she professes to impart, a liking for children, and, above all, a strong moral sense of her responsibility towards them, for her to attempt to enroll herself in the scholastic order is absolute profanation.” ChildrenOrderStrongPleasureResponsibilityMoralTeachingHonestDecidedAbsolutesFacilityImpartScholastics Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

“The idea that somehow "no self, no problem"- I don't exist because I don't have a self- would be a mistaken understanding. However, the selflessness teaching is not that hard to understand. What it means is a type of self that people feel they have, like a fixed, unchanging identity. Either they know they have it, or for some, they feel they need to seek it, and possibly have an experience where they feel like they found something. That type of fixed, unchanging, essential self, or absolute self doesn't exist. That's what "no self" means.” PeopleKnowsNeedsFeelsMeanIdeasSelfHardProblemWould BeFoundUnderstandingTeachingIdentityTypeEssentialsAbsolutesFixedMistakenSelflessnessNo ProblemUnchanging Author:Robert Thurman
“Buddha himself taught different teachings to different people under different circumstances. For some people, there are beliefs based on a Creator. For others, no Creator.

“The history of science teaches only too plainly the lesson that no single method is absolutely to be relied upon, that sources of error lurk where they are least expected, and that they may escape the notice of the most experienced and conscientious worker.” MayScienceTeachTeachingSourceLessonsAbsolutesMethodErrorsWorkersExpectedHistory Of Science Author:John William Strutt
“Meaning can only be understood in relation to its environment. Therefore, the words only make full sense in context... There are no absolutes, there is no meaning without relationships, everything is not only interacting but interdependent. The kahunas use this idea to help give a person a powerfully secure sense of significance, while at the same time teaching him that to heal himself is to heal the world, and to heal the world is to heal himself. This is not a loss of individuality, but an understanding that individuality itself is a relationship with the environment.” WorldGivingPersonsIdeasHelpingUseSpiritualUnderstandingLossEnvironmentTeachingUnderstoodRelationAbsolutesIndividualityHealSecureSignificanceInteractingHeal The World Author:Serge King
