"A knowledge of the forces that rule society, of the causes that have produced its upheavals, and of society's resources for promoting healthy progress has become of vital concern to our civilization."

"To attempt this would be like seeing without eyes or directing the gaze of knowledge behind one's own eye. Modern science can acknowledge no other than this epistemological stand-point."

"The existence of inherent limits of experience in no way settles the question about the subordination of facts of the human world to our knowledge of matter."

"Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed."

"Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability."

"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."

"The worst education which teaches self-denial, is better than the best which teaches everything else, and not that."
