“What sometimes enrages me and always disappoints and grieves me is the preference of great schools of learning for the derivative as opposed to the original, for the conventional and thin which can be duplicated in many copies rather than the new and powerful, and for arid correctness and limitation of scope and method rather than for universal newness and beauty, wherever it may be seen.” MaySometimesSchoolPowerfulUniversalOriginalsMethodLimitationGrievingCopiesConventionalPreferenceScopeDisappointCorrectnessDerivativesNewnessGreat Schools Book:The human use of human beings: cybernetics and society Source: The human use of human beings: cybernetics and society

“But you go to a great school, not for knowledge so much as for arts and habits; for the habit of attention, for the art of expression, for the art of assuming at a moment's notice a new intellectual posture, for the art of entering quickly into another person's thoughts, for the habit of submitting to censure and refutation, for the art of indicating assent or dissent in graduated terms, for the habit of regarding minute points of accuracy, for the habit of working out what is possible in a given time, for taste, for discrimination, for mental courage and mental soberness.” PersonsArtMomentsSchoolGivenTermAttentionMinutesExpressionHabitTasteIntellectualAssumingWork OutDiscriminationEnteringDissentAccuracyPostureCensureRefutationGreat Schools Author:William Johnson Cory
