Education becomes most rich and alive when it confronts the reality of moral conflict in the world.

War in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children.

Perhaps the most important thing I learned was about democracy, that democracy is not our government, our constitution, our legal structure. Too often they are enemies of democracy.

Education can, and should be, dangerous.

We need to organize ourselves and protest against existing order - against war, against economic and sexual exploitation, against racism, etc. But to organize ourselves in such a way that means correspond to the ends, and to organize ourselves in such a way as to create kind of human relationship that should exist in future society. That would mean to organize ourselves without centralize authority, without charismatic leader, in a way that represents in miniature the ideal of the future egalitarian society.

There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.

Most wars, after all, present themselves as humanitarian endeavors to help people.
