We are in a period when old questions are settled and the new are not yet brought forward.

I've been at two different high schools, two different colleges, so I've learned some new playbooks, and that always helps me.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born

If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.

I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform.

Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

The status quo is leaving the building, and quickly.

My mother could never have said she loved fall, but as she walked down the steps with her suitcase in hand toward the red Monte Carlo her husband had been waiting in for nearly an hour, she could have said that she respected its place as a mediator between two extremes. Fall came and went, while winter was endured and summer was revered.

I think people look at revolution too much in terms of power. I think revolution has to be seen more anthropologically, in terms of transitions from one mode of life to another.

Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment. But the point from which we started out still exists and can be seen, although it appears smaller and forms a tiny part of our broad view gained by the mastery of the obstacles on our adventurous way up.

Education doesn't need to be reformed- it needs to be transformed.

It is, of course, a trite observation to say that we live "in a period of transition." Many people have said this at many times. Adam may well have made the remark to Eve on leaving the Garden of Eden.

I am forever on the way

Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way.
