“On the river path in Boston beauty was most expressed as youth and intelligence. That made sense; sixty degree-giving institutions, some three hundred thousand students; that meant at least one hundred fifty thousand more nubile young women than demographics would ordinarily suggest. Maybe that was why young men stayed in Boston when their college years were over, maybe that explained why they were so intellectually hyperactive, so frustrated, so alcoholic, such terrible drivers.” MenGivingYearsMadeYoungThreePathYouthStudentsCollegeTerribleThousandDegreesHundredRiversInstitutionsYoung ManFiftyDriversSixtyFrustratedYoung WomenBostonAlcoholicsDemographicsCollege Years Author:Kim Stanley Robinson
“Everything we know has its origin in questions. Questions, we might say, are the principal intellectual instruments available to human beings. Then how is it possible that no more than one in one hundred students has ever been exposed to an extended and systematic study of the art and science of question-asking? How come Alan Bloom did not mention this, or E. D. Hirsh, Jr., or so many others who have written books on how to improve our schools? Did they simply fail to notice that the principal intellectual instrument available to human beings is not examined in school?” KnowsMenHumansArtBookMightSchoolHuman BeingsStudyFailingWrittenStudentsIntellectualHundredAskingInstrumentsAvailableExposedPrincipalSystematicArt And Science Author:Alfred A.

“Five hundred years before Christ was born, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus told his students that "everything changes except the law of change". He said: "You cannot step in the same river twice." The river changes every second; and so does the man who stepped in it. Life is a ceaseless change. The only certainty is today. Why mar the beauty of living today by trying to solve the problems of a future that is shrouded in ceaseless change and uncertainty-a future that no one can possibly foretell?” MenTryingYearsDoeSaidProblemTodayLawLife IsChristBornStepsFiveStudentsHundredRiversPhilosopherSolveCertaintyUncertaintyGreekMarsEvery SecondGreek Philosopher Author:Dale Carnegie
