Order Quotes - Page 8

• The functionaries of public power rarely strengthen in their dispositions to abridge it, and an unorganized call for timely amendment is not likely to prevail against an organized opposition to it. We are always told that things are going on well; Why change them? 'Chi sta bene, no si mueve,' said the Italian, 'let him who stands well, stand still.'

• La mente humana muestra un impulso por plasmar en formas fijas mediante supuestos irreales, es decir, ficciones, aquello que es caótico, siempre en flujo e incomprensible. Al servicio de este impulso, el niño utiliza generalmente un esquema para actuar y encontrar su camino. Lo mismo ocurre cuando dividimos la tierra por meridianos y paralelos, pues sólo así obtenemos puntos fijos que podemos relacionar entre sí.

• We could encourage the best qualities of youthfulness - curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight simply by being more flexible about time, texts, and tests, by introducing kids into truly competent adults, and by giving each student what autonomy he or she needs in order to take a risk every now and then. But we don't do that.

• Creo que nos han lavado el cerebro con la idea de que ya no tenemos tiempo para cocinar. Hemos hecho que cocinar parezca mucho más complicado de lo que es, y parte de ello se debe a ver programas de cocina en televisión: hemos convertido la cocina en un deporte para espectadores. ...Mi mujer y yo trabajamos y podemos tener una buena cena en la mesa en media hora. No nos llevaría menos tiempo conducir hasta un establecimiento de comida rápida y pedir, sentarnos y llevarnos la mesa.
