“And as long as the world lasts, all who want to make progress in righteousness will come to Israel for inspiration, as to the people who have had the sense for righteousness most glowing and strongest; and in hearing and reading the words Israel has uttered for us, carers for conduct will find a glow and a force they could find nowhere else.” PeopleWorldWantLongInspirationLastsReadingForceProgressIsraelHearingRighteousnessStrongestGlowing Book:Complete Prose Works: Dissent and dogma Source: Complete Prose Works: Dissent and dogma
“There is a strong conservative instinct in the average man or woman, born of the hereditary fear of life, that prompts them to cling to old standards, or, if too intelligent to look inhospitably upon progress, to move very slowly. Both types are the brakes and wheelhorses necessary to a stable civilization, but history, even current history in the newspapers, would be dull reading if there were no adventurous spirits willing to do battle for new ideas.” IfsMenLooksIdeasWould BeMovingSpiritReadingStrongBornProgressWillingTypeCivilizationBattleStandardsIntelligentInstinctAverageConservativeCurrentsNewspapersResistanceDullStableNew IdeasStatus QuoAdventurousPromptsAverage ManBrakeHereditaryFears Of LifeAdventurous Spirit Author:Gertrude Atherton

“[Buckminster] Fuller's idea of progress is a very 1950s organization man out of the military sort of idea of progress. So as a result, you have something like: we've got bad weather in New York City; let's put a dome over it. And so I don't want to put a dome over Manhattan and I hope that nobody who ends up reading the book wants to do so as a result.” MenWantBookIdeasEndsReadingResultsCitiesProgressMilitaryNew YorkOrganizationWeatherOver ItNew York CityManhattanDomesBad WeatherBuckminster Fuller Author:Jonathon Keats

“Film team kept me very, very shielded when I was that young, because of course, I was seven years old. You know, you're still kind of reading. It's still kind of like, "Cat." "Dog." "Ann jumped over fence." So I guess in a way it helped me progress in school, too, because I was reading so much and memorizing so much. But they kept me very shielded from everything that was going on in the The Amityville Horror. I didn't know anything, basically, about the film. I just knew that it was a scary film. I wasn't allowed to watch it. I can watch it now, I'm just too scared.” KindSchoolFilmReadingProgressTeamDogHorrorCatSevenScaredScaryFence Author:Chloe Grace Moretz
“All the time I was plowing through books on dyslexia, I found myself asking: what if, what if? What if you were a kid the 1950s with this condition, when there were no books on it, when there was no understanding of it. I remember kids in my class at school who just didn't seem to progress in their reading. There was no extra help. People just thought, "Oh, he or she isn't so bright, or they're obstinate."” PeopleBookHelpingKidsSchoolRememberReadingUnderstandingProgressExtrasWhat IfObstinateDyslexia Author:Maggie O'Farrell
“'3:10 to Yuma' was one that I just kept on talking and thinking about after reading it.
