Nel Noddings
“It still amazes me that we insist on teaching algebra to all students when only about 20 percent will ever use it and fail to teach anything about parenting when the vast majority of our students will become parents.”
Nel Noddings, Peace Education: How We Come to Love and Hate War

Andrzej Sapkowski
“Don't you think”—he smiled—“that my lack of faith makes such a trance pointless?� “No, I don't. And do you know why?� “No.� Nenneke leaned over and looked him in the eyes with a strange smile on her pale lips. “Because it would be the first proof I’ve ever heard of that a lack of faith has any kind of power at all.”
Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish

Richard Hamming
“Most people like to believe something is or is not true. Great scientists tolerate ambiguity very well. They believe the theory enough to go ahead; they doubt it enough to notice the errors and faults so they can step forward and create the new replacement theory. If you believe too much you'll never notice the flaws; if you doubt too much you won't get started. It requires a lovely balance.”
Richard Hamming, You and Your Research

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“I am ashamed
to call this love human
and afraid of God
to call it divine”
Jalaluddin Rumi, The Love Poems of Rumi

Michael Pollan
“Normal waking consciousness feels perfectly transparent, and yet it is less a window on reality than the product of our imaginations-a kind of controlled hallucination.”
Michael Pollan, How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence
