“Teaching was my transition from student life to working life. In those days, our system of education was a little different. The number of students in each class was huge. I think in political science general, which I taught, it was around 100.” ThinkingLittlesDifferentPoliticalNumbersClassTeachingStudentsTaughtHugeTransitionPolitical ScienceWorking LifeStudent Life Author:Pranab Mukherjee
“It is the teaching of the Bible and of sound Political ethics that the education of children belongs to the sphere of the family and is the duty of the parents. The theory that the children of the Commonwealth are the charge of the Commonwealth is a pagan one, derived from heathen Sparta and Platoís heathen republic, and connected by regular, logical sequence with legalized prostitution and the dissolution of the conjugal tie.” ChildrenPoliticalParentSoundEducationTeachingDutyTheoryEthicsConnectedTiesLogicalRepublicSpheresPlatoSequenceProstitutionPaganCommonwealthDissolutionHeathenPlato SSpartaConjugal Author:Robert Dabney
“Orwell was dealing with communism and his disillusionment with communism in Russia and what he saw the communists do in Spain. His novel was a response to those political situations. Whereas I was interested in more things than the political atmosphere. I was considering the whole social atmosphere: the impact of TV and radio and the lack of education. I could see the coming event of schoolteachers not teaching reading anymore. The less they taught, the more you wouldn't need books.” NeedsBookWholePoliticalReadingSocialSituationNovelSawsTeachingEventsTaughtTvsImpactResponseRadioRussiaCommunismAtmosphereCommunistConsideringSpainDisillusionmentLack Of Education Author:Ray Bradbury
“I believe that the biblical teaching is clear. It always contests political power. It incites to "counterpower," to "positive" criticism, to an irreducible dialogue (like that between king and prophet in Israel), to antistatism, to a decentralizing of the relation, to an extreme relativizing of everything political, to an anti-ideology, to a questioning of all that claims either power or dominion (in other words, of all things political), and finally, if we may use a modern term, to a kind of "anarchism" (so long as we do not relate the term to the anarchist teaching of the nineteenth century).” IfsKindMayLongUsePoliticalTermClearTeachingModernCenturyKingsAll ThingsCriticismClaimsRelationIsraelExtremesDialogueIdeologyRelateProphetQuestioningBiblicalContestsAnarchismAnarchistDominionNineteenth CenturyPolitical Power Author:Jacques Ellul

“I have laid the stick that connects people together. Now it is up to you, your generation and the generations to come, to build upon that stick a bridge that will ensure the free sharing of information and teaching between the two peoples until the day we become united again as a single people, as we were once before; before men separated us with their imaginary political boundaries of today's Polynesia and Micronesia.” PeopleMenTwoTodayTogetherPoliticalUnitedGenerationsTeachingInformationSticksBoundariesBridgesImaginaryUp To YouSingle PeoplePolynesia Author:Mau Piailug

“In the end I created a career of my own, concentrating on my writing and lecturing, reaching larger audiences than I would had I ended up with tenure and a full teaching load.
