Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs.
Socrates, Peaceful Warrior

Quirky quotes contest entry 2

"There is no difference between living and learning...it is impossible and misleading and harmful to think of them as being separate"

John Holt in "What Do I Do Monday"

"So if you sleep until you're 18... Ah, think of the suffering you're gonna miss. I mean high school?
High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that."

Uncle Frank(Steve Carell) Little Miss Sunshine, 2006

Instead of Education~ John Holt

Next to the right to life itself, the most fundamental of all human rights is the right to control our own minds and thoughts. That means, the right to decide for ourselves how we will explore the world around us, think about our own and other persons' experiences, and find and make the meaning of our own lives. Whoever takes that right away from us, as the educators do, attacks the very center of our being and does us a most profound and lasting injury. He tells us, in effect, that we cannot be trusted even to think, that for all our lives we must depend on others to tell us the meaning of our world and our lives, and that any meaning we may make for ourselves, out of our own experience, has no value."
