Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes different points of view.

We can put television in its proper light by supposing that Gutenberg's great invention had been directed at printing only comic books.

It sometimes seems as though we were trying to combine the ideal of no schools at all with the democratic ideal of schools for everybody by having schools without education.

Anybody who feels at ease in the world today is a fool.
