“Finally, it is important to make it clear that imagination is not an exercise for those detached from reality, those who live in the air. On the contrary, when we imagine something, we do it necessarily conditioned by a lack in our concrete reality. When children imagine free and happy schools, it is because their real schools deny them freedom and happiness.” ChildrenImportantRealRealitySchoolImaginationClearImagineAirSocietyExerciseDenyContraryConcreteDetachedFreedom And Happiness Author:Paulo Freire

“The rules that I shall propose concerning secrecy, and from which I think it not safe to deviate without long and exact deliberation, are, never to solicit the knowledge of a secret,--not willingly, nor without many limitations, to accept such confidence when it is offered; when a secret is once admitted, to consider the trust as of a very high nature, important as society and sacred as truth, and therefore not to be violated for any incidental convenience, or slight appearance of contrary fitness.” ThinkingLongImportantSecretAcceptingSafeSacredAppearanceContraryLimitationSecrecyConvenienceProposeDeliberationDeviate Book:The Works of Samuel Johnson, LL.D.: With An Essay on His Life and Genius Source: The Works of Samuel Johnson, LL.D.: With An Essay on His Life and Genius

“It is important to understand what I mean by semiosis. All dynamic action, or action of brute force, physical or psychical, either takes place between two subjects, whether they react equally upon each other, or one is agent and the other patient, entirely or partially, or at any rate is a resultant of such actions between pairs. But by "semiosis" I mean, on the contrary, an action, or influence, which is, or involves, a cooperation of three subjects, such as a sign, its object, and its interpretant, this tri-relative influence not being in any way resolvable into actions between pairs.” WayMeanTwoImportantActionThreeForceInfluenceSubjectsObjectsPatientRateContraryAgentsPairsCooperationRelativeBrutesBrute Force Author:Charles Sanders Peirce
“I will continue to work for the advancement of freedoms in Egypt and the Arab world until I drop dead... Education itself - which can and should play an important role in the apprenticeship of tolerance and respect for other people -sometimes encourages identitarian closure, or even extremist behaviour...
