“What is it that is done to our children that their puberty should deform them? They have the joy of movement; they have an enterprising curiosity; they are ready for sensible self-denial; they dream ahead, and they have a faithful memory, and, above all, great compassion... The well-meaning educator who flatters and humours the young not only does a disservice to the community, but also damages the individual by depriving him of the opportunities of self-discovery.” ShouldWellsChildrenDoeSelfDoneDreamYoungJoyOpportunityIndividualCommunityMemoriesCompassionMovementHumourReadyDiscoveryOur ChildrenCuriositySelf DiscoveryDenialFaithfulDamageSensibleEducatorPubertySelf-denialDisserviceDeprivingEnterprising Author:Kurt Hahn
“To the Memory of those faithful brown slave-men of the plantations throughout the South, Daddy's contemporaries all, who during the war while their masters were away fighting in a cause opposed to their emancipation, brought their blankets and slept outside their mistresses' doors, thus keeping night-watch over otherwise unprotected women and children -- a faithful guardianship of which the annals of those troublous times record no instance of betrayal.” MenChildrenWarNightFightingCausesMemoriesWatchesRecordsDoorsMastersSlaverySlaveSouthBetrayalInstanceFaithfulBrownDaddyMistressBlanketEmancipationPlantationsGuardianship Author:Ruth Stout
“There is no rigorous and effective deconstruction without the faithful memory of philosophies and literatures, without the respectful and competent reading of texts of the past, as well as singular works of our own time. Deconstruction is also a certain thinking about tradition and context. Mark Taylor evokes this with great clarity in the course of a remarkable introduction. He reconstitutes a set of premises without which no deconstruction could have seen the light of day.” ThinkingWellsPhilosophyLightPastCertainCoursesReadingLiteratureMemoriesTraditionMarkClarityFaithfulRemarkableIntroductionPremisesRespectfulCompetentEvokeDeconstruction Author:Jacques Derrida
“What is memory but the repository of things doomed to be forgotten, so you must have History. You must have labor to invent History. Being faithful to all that happens to you of significance, recording days, dates, events, names, sights not relying merely upon memory which fades like a Polaroid print where you see the memory fading before your eyes like time itself retreating.” HappensEyeNamesMemoriesEventsLaborSightForgottenFaithfulSignificancePrintFadesDoomedFadingBeing FaithfulPolaroids Author:Joyce Carol Oates
“I am already sensible of decay in the power of walking, and find my memory not so faithful as it used to be. This may be partly owing to the incessant current of new matter flowing constantly through it; but I ascribe to years their share in it also.” YearsMayMatterUsedMemoriesShareWalkingCurrentsUsed To BeFaithfulSensibleDecayOwingIncessant Book:The Writings of Thomas Jefferson: Correspondence Source: The Writings of Thomas Jefferson: Correspondence
