“When we teach a child to sing or play the flute, we teach her how to listen. When we teach her to draw, we teach her to see. When we teach a child to dance, we teach him about his body and about space, and when he acts on a stage, he learns about character and motivation. When we teach a child design, we reveal the geometry of the world. When we teach children about the folk and traditional arts and the great masterpieces of the world, we teach them to celebrate their roots and find their own place in history.” WorldChildrenArtPlayCharacterBodyMotivationSpaceTeachStageDesignDrawsRootsFolksTraditionalCelebrateMasterpieceGeometryFlutes Book:Command Performance: An Actress in the Theater of Politics Source: Command Performance: An Actress in the Theater of Politics
“Man is naturally self-centered and he is inclined to regard expediency as the supreme standard for what is right and wrong. However, we must not convert an inclination into an axiom that just as man's perceptions cannot operate outside time and space, so his motivations cannot operate outside expediency; that man can never transcend his own self. The most fatal trap into which thinking may fall is the equation of existence and expediency.” ThinkingMenMaySelfMotivationFallSpaceExistencePerceptionStandardsRegardSupremeTrapsEquationsTime And SpaceInclinationSelf CenteredAxiomsExpediency Author:Abraham Joshua Heschel

The question of truth did not, as it were, have the social space in which it could breath.” BelievePersonsSaidSometimesMotivationSocialSpaceBreakPiecesInformationBreathsUnionsHearingReactionsDistinctionManipulationSovietSuspicionSoviet UnionBreaking DownMistrustCasualtiesAbsolutism Author:Simon Blackburn
