“Each generation is inclined to educate its young so as to get along in the present world instead of with a view to the proper end of education: the promotion of the best possible realization of humanity as humanity. Parents educate their children so that they may get on; princes educate their subjects as instruments of their own purpose.” WorldMayChildrenEndsYoungPurposeHumanityParentViewsGenerationsSubjectsInstrumentsRealizationEducatePromotion Book:Democracy and Education: Top American Authors Source: Democracy and Education: Top American Authors
“He who thinks he can have flesh and bones without being subject to any external influence, or any accidents of matter, unconsciously wishes to reconcile two opposites, viz., to be at the same time subject and not subject to change. If man were never subject to change there could be no generation; there would be one single being, but no individuals forming a species.” IfsThinkingMenTwoMatterWould BeIndividualWishGenerationsInfluenceSubjectsOppositesSpeciesBonesAccidentsFleshReconcileTwo OppositesExternal Influences Book:The Guide for the Perplexed Source: The Guide for the Perplexed

“Upon the publication of Goethe's epic drama, the Faustian legend had reached an almost unapproachable zenith. Although many failed to appreciate, or indeed, to understand this magnum opus in its entirety, from this point onward his drama was the rule by which all other Faust adaptations were measured. Goethe had eclipsed the earlier legends and became the undisputed authority on the subject of Faust in the eyes of the new Romantic generation. To deviate from his path would be nothing short of blasphemy.” Would BeEyePathGenerationsSubjectsDramaAuthorityAppreciateLegendsEpicAdaptationPublicationBlasphemyEntiretyDeviateFaustZenithUndisputed Author:E.

“I am genuinely sorry for scientists of the younger generation who never knew Fisher personally. So long as you avoided a handful of subjects like inverse probability that would turn Fisher in the briefest possible moment from extreme urbanity into a boiling cauldron of wrath, you got by with little worse than a thick head from the port which he, like the Cambridge mathematician J. E. Littlewood, loved to drink in the evening. And on the credit side you gained a cherished memory of English spoken in a Shakespearean style and delivered in the manner of a Spanish grandee.” LittlesLongMomentsTurnsSidesMemoriesGenerationsSubjectsStyleDrinkScientistSorryExtremesCreditEveningThickMathematicianProbabilityWrathHandfulAvoidedPortYounger GenerationBoilingCambridgeInverseCauldronsCherished Memories Author:Fred Hoyle
