“Whether outside work is done by choice or not, whether women seek their identity through work, whether women are searching for pleasure or survival through work, the integration of motherhood and the world of work is a source of ambivalence, struggle, and conflict for the great majority of women.” WorldDoneChoicesPleasureStruggleIdentitySourceConflictSurvivalMajorityMotherhoodIntegrationAmbivalence Book:Worlds apart: relationships between families and schools Source: Worlds apart: relationships between families and schools
“Our modern world-view tragically misperceives and wrongly defines what it is to be human. We are conditioned by our society to believe happiness comes from pleasure, or from getting things or power over people or money or fame or even health and survival. None of these sometimes very good things can bring ultimate meaning to our lives. We are born to be deeply conscious, inwardly free and deeply capable of love. The longing for these things is the definition of what it means to be human.” PeopleBelieveMeanSometimesPleasureModernFameSurvivalCapableConsciousUltimateLongingGood ThingsVery Good Author:Jacob Needleman
“Humanity does not ask to be happy.It merely asks us to be brilliant on its behalf. Survival first, and then happiness as we can manage it...

“The most basic task of any museum must be the protection of works of cultural significance entrusted to its care for the edification and pleasure of future generations. This imperative rightfully takes precedence over acquisition, interpretation, outreach, or any number of other activities now believed to be crucial to the survival of our great art repositories. Sometimes a museum gains its holdings with much strategic forethought, and at other times serendipitously, as when a long-coveted neighbor’s plot suddenly becomes available. Yet the moral responsibility remains the same.” LongArtSometimesCarePleasureNumbersResponsibilityMoralGenerationsActivitySurvivalGainsTasksRemainsAvailableProtectionNeighborPlotSignificanceInterpretationMuseumsCrucialGreat ArtImperativesFuture GenerationStrategicAcquisitionPrecedenceMoral ResponsibilityForethoughtOutreachEdification Author:Martin Filler
