Since every individual is accountable ultimately to the self, the formation of that self demands our utmost care and attention.
Frank HerbertRemember: Bureaucracy elevates conformity ... Make that elevates 'fatal stupidity' to the status of religion.
Frank HerbertThese are illusions of popular history which successful religion must promote: Evil men never prosper; only the brave deserve the fair; honesty is the best policy; actions speak louder than words; virtue always triumpths; a good deed is its own rewards; any bad human can be reformed; religious talismans protect one from demon possession; only females understand the ancient mysteries; the rich are doomed to unhappiness
Frank HerbertA beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct.
Frank HerbertEducational bureaucracies dull a child's questing sensitivity. The young must be dampened down. Never let them know how good they can be. That brings change. Spend lots of committee time talking about how to deal with exceptional students. Don't spend any time dealing with how the conventional teacher feels threatened by emerging talents and squelches them because of a deep-seated desire to feel superior and safe in a safe environment.
