The one thing that unifies men in a given age is not their individual philosophies but the dominant problem that these philosophies are designed to solve.

An artist has every right - one may even say a duty - to exhibit his productions as prominently as he can.

We cannot appreciate the art of any age without first acquiring an equivalent of the experience it depicts.

The reason teaching has to go on is that children are not born human; they are made so.

Machines are admirable and tyrannize only with the user's consent. Where, then, is the enemy? Not where the machine gives relief from drudgery but where human judgment abdicates. The smoothest machine-made product of the age is the organization man, for even the best organizing principle tends to corrupt, and the mechanical principle corrupts absolutely.

I once worked as a salesman and was very independent. I took orders from no one.

In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years.
