“But the idea of science and systematic knowledge is wanting to our whole instruction alike, and not only to that of our business class ... In nothing do England and the Continent at the present moment more strikingly differ than in the prominence which is now given to the idea of science there, and the neglect in which this idea still lies here; a neglect so great that we hardly even know the use of the word science in its strict sense, and only employ it in a secondary and incorrect sense.” KnowsStillsIdeasWholeMomentsUseScienceLyingGivenEducationClassEnglandPresent MomentNeglectInstructionContinentsStrictSystematicProminence Book:The Works of Matthew Arnold Source: The Works of Matthew Arnold
“Personally I would like to have pupils, a studio, pass on my love to them, work with them, without teaching them anything.. ..A convent, a monastery, a phalanstery of painting where one could train together.. ..but no programme, no instruction in painting.. ..drawing is still alright, it doesn't count, but painting - the way to learn is to look at the masters, above all at nature, and to watch other people painting.” PeopleWayLooksStillsTogetherWatchesTeachingPaintingMastersTrainStudiosDrawingInstructionAlrightPupilsProgrammesMonasteries Author:Paul Cezanne
