"Thinking about thinking" has to be a principle ingredient of any empowering practice of education.

The essence of creativity is figuring out how to use what you already know in order to go beyond what you already think.

Learners are encouraged to discover facts and relationships for themselves.

Education must, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them.

We are storytelling creatures, and as children we acquire language to tell those stories that we have inside us.

Being able to "go beyond the information" given to "figure things out" is one of the few untarnishable joys of life.

The foundations of any subject may be taught to anybody at any age in some form.

We begin with the hypothesis that any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development.

In reference to right answers - Knowing is a process, not a product.

Good teaching is forever being on the cutting edge of a child's competence.

Understanding something in one way does not preclude understanding it in other ways.

Let us make this world a house of love and peace. Let us forget and forgive all hate and prejudice. Let us break all the walls of pride and prejudice. Let us open our door to welcome joy and peace.

I couldn't sleep 5/23/2016 and 5/24/2016 the time between them the night which puts differences between the day and split them.

It is proper that technically qualified non-lunatics should sit in judgement on lunatics. How could things be otherwise?

The net of the sleeper catches fish.

The silent bear no witness against themselves.

I'm more of an empiricist. I'm focused on right or wrong, as opposed to left or right.

I'll never be a minimalist. The fact that the prose is more tightly controlled doesn't for a minute mean that it's minimalist. I very much like arcane words and baroque sentence structure.

I never had the confidence to say I was going to be in front of the camera as a comedian until I saw Eddie Murphy years later.

There's nothing better for a comedian than adversity.

Since I tend to write chronologically, the middle is always the place where the process is most taxing.
