It is a mistake to suppose that the whole issue is how to free man. The issue is to improve the way in which he is controlled.

The world's a poor standard. any society which is free of hunger and violence looks bright against that background.

Some of us learn control, more or less by accident. The rest of us go all our lives not even understanding how it is possible, and blaming our failure on being born the wrong way.

But restraint is the only one sort of control, and absence of restraint isn't freedom. It's not control that's lacking when one feels 'free', but the objectionable control of force.

An important fact about verbal behavior is that speaker and listener may reside within the same skin.

Many instructional arrangements seem "contrived," but there is nothing wrong with that. It is the teacher's function to contrive conditions under which students learn. It has always been the task of formal education to set up behavior which would prove useful or enjoyable later in a student's life.

Chaos breeds geniuses. It offers a man something to be a genius about.
