The only good teachers for you are those friends who love you, who think you are interesting or very important, or wonderfully funny.

The imagination needs moodling, – long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.

UNCED NGO Forum “The People’s Earth Declaration”
We, the people of the world, will mobilize the forces of transnational civil society behind a widely shared agenda that bonds our many social movements in pursuit of just, sustainable, and participatory human societies. In so doing we are forging our own instruments and processes for redefining the nature and meaning of human progress and for transforming those institutions that no longer respond to our needs.

John Updike  (U.S. author)The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents.  So they provided jails called schools equipped with tortures called an education. 

School is where you go between when your parent’s can’t take you and industry can’t take you.  

Peter Ustinov (b. 1921) English actor
. . . what is education but a process by which a person begins to learn how to learn.

Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth.
