“it is my conviction that the personality of the writer has nothing to do with the literate product of his mind. And publicity in this case embarrasses me because I am acutely conscious of how far short the book falls of the artistry I am struggling to achieve.

“We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective principles.

“No one can flatter himself that he is immune to the spirit of his own epoch, or even that he possesses a full understanding of it. Irrespective of our conscious convictions, each one of us, without exception, being a particle of the general mass, is somewhere attached to, colored by, or even undermined by the spirit which goes through the mass. Freedom stretches only as far as the limits of our consciousness.” SpiritUnderstandingFreedomConsciousnessLimitsMassConsciousConvictionExceptionParticlesImmuneEpochMemories Dreams Reflections Author:Carl Jung
“This is the road I have tried to follow as a teacher: living my convictions; being open to the process of knowing and being sensitive to the experience of teaching as an art; being pushed forward by the challenges that prevent me from bureaucratizing my practice; accepting my limitations, yet always conscious of the necessary effort to overcome them and aware that I cannot hide them because to do so would be a failure to respect both my students and myself as a teacher.” ArtPhilosophyWould BeLiteratureProcessChallengesEffortAcceptingPracticeKnowingTeacherTeachingStudentsConsciousArt IsOvercomingConvictionEducationalLimitationSensitive Book:Pedagogy of Freedom: Ethics, Democracy, and Civic Courage Source: Pedagogy of Freedom: Ethics, Democracy, and Civic Courage
