If the eye is constantly greeted by harmonious objects, having elegance of form and color, a standard of taste naturally grows up.
John DeweyThe end justifies the means only when the means used are such as actually bring about the desired and desirable end.
John DeweyNo thought, no idea, can possibly be conveyed as an idea from one person to another. When it is told it is to the one to whom it is told another fact, not an idea. The communication may stimulate the other person to realize the question for himself and to think out a like idea, or it may smother his intellectual interest and suppress his dawning effort at thought. But what he directly gets cannot be an idea. Only by wrestling with the conditions of the problem at first hand, seeking and finding his own way out, does he think.
