John Dewey Quote on Education and the Community’s Moral Duty
“I believe that the community’s duty to education is, therefore, its paramount moral duty. By law and punishment, by social agitation and discussion, society can regulate and form itself in a more or less haphazard and chance way. But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move.”
John Dewey
Time and Transience – Quote by Marcus Aurelius
“Think of all the years passed by in which you said to yourself “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and how the gods have again and again granted you periods of grace of which you have not availed yourself. It is time to realize that you are a member of the Universe, that you are born of Nature itself, and to know that a limit has been set to your time. Use every moment wisely, to perceive your inner refulgence, or ’twill be gone and nevermore within your reach.”
Marcus Aurelius

Quote by Marcus Aurelius on Acceptance and Love in Life

Quote by Klaus Kinski on Werner Herzog – Obsession and Talent
“[on Werner Herzog] He’s a highly talented guy. He does very good movies and he’s not the sort of person who always talks bullshit. He does many, many things right. But he’s also sick. Obsessed. He wants to make history, not movies. Anyone who wants to make history is stupid.”
Klaus Kinski
