THE GOD WHO IS INTELLIGIBLE TO MAN IS MADE BY MAN HIMSELF, BUT WHAT IS BEYOND HIS INTELLIGENCE IS THE REALITY. HAZRAT INAYAT KHAN
MONEY CAN BUY YOU A FINE DOG, BUT ONLY LOVE CAN MAKE HIM WAG HIS TAIL. KINKY FRIENDMAN
TO THINK is to ignore (or forget) differences, to generalize, to abstract. JUAN LUIS BORGES
WE ARE, and ever will be, active participants in the universe we discover. WILLIAM EGGINTON
I THINK one of the things ‘Hey Paula’ has was, it was like a couple dating over the air. They were singing back and forth to each other. You had your Steve and Eydies, but it was not for the teenage pizza-and-peanut-butter songs. RAY HILDEBRAND 1940-2023
THE PESSIMIST SEES DIFFICULTY IN EVERY OPPORTUNITY. THE OPTIMIST SEES OPPORTUNITY IN EVERY DIFFICULTY. W. CHURCHILL
EVERY MAN’S MEMORY IS HIS PRIVATE LITERATURE. ALDOUS HUXLEY
ITZHAK PERLMAN 1945—– VIOLINIST
I FEEL LIKE YOU ALWAYS PAY, WHEN YOU ARE A CHILD.
I LISTEN TO KIDS PLAY A LOT.
ONE MUST always practice slowly. If you learn something slowly, you forget it slowly.
NEVER miss an opportunity to teach; when you teach others, you teach yourself.
EVERY musical phrase has a purpose. It’s like talking. If you talk with a particular purpose, people listen to you, but if you just recite, it’s not as meaningful.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO IS REALLY LISTEN.
EVERYBODY has a different kind of talent and a different timetable as to when they develop.
IN DIFFICULT TIMES, people just like to hear music. They like to be moved by what they hear. And music speaks different languages.
I always consider myself lucky that I can actually cry listening to some music.
I CAN see the sound in my head. I can actually see it . . . But each sound is different so this one has that sparkle, there is a sparkle to the sound.
MARIA MONTESSORI. 1870-1952— “The Montessori Method”.
THE GOAL of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.
THE EDUCATION of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.
LET THE CHILDREN BE FREE . . .
TO ASSIST A CHILD we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.
THE MOST IMPORTANT period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.
THE CHILD who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope humanity can develop in a new direction.
WHAT THE HAND DOES THE MIND REMEMBERS.
FREE the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.
WE SHALL walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.
THE ESSENCE OF INDEPENDENCE IS TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING FOR ONE’S SELF.
OUR AIM is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.
THE GREATEST sign of success for a teacher . . . is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’
ELDRIDGE CLEAVER. 1935-1998. “Soul on Ice” “Soul on Fire”
YOU DON’T have to teach people how to be human. You have ti teach them how to stop being inhuman.
YOU’RE EITHER PART OF THE SOLUTION OR YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
THE PRICE OF HATING OTHER HUMAN BEINGS IS LOVING ONESELF LESS.
THEY USE FORCE, to make you do, what the deciders, have decided you must do.
THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY STATEMENT IN HISTORY IS ‘LOVE THINE ENEMY.’
THE RACIST CONSCIENCE of America is such that murder does not register as murder really, unless the victim is white . . . blacks knew that white blood is the coin of freedom in a land where for four hundred years black blood has been shed unremarked and with impunity.
REMEMBER YOURSELF!
I FEEL I am a citizen of the American dream and that the revolutionary struggle of which I am a part is a struggle against the American nightmare.
EVERY HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PERSON is a maniac on a mission. Too much agreement kills a chat.
I’VE GONE BEYOND CIVIL RIGHTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS TO CREATION RIGHTS.
what America demands IN HER BLACK CHAMPIONS is a brilliant, powerful body and a dull, bestial mind.
