Things We Take For Granted Quotes

• The more often we see the things around us - even the beautiful and wonderful things - the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds - even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.

  Joseph B. Wirthlin

• All of us, I suspect, imagine that a world exists from which we alone have been excluded; all of us have our noses pressed against the glass. But if we contemplate our own lives, not the phantom life on the other side, we might find things in them to envy-a family that’s intact; a job we like; excellent health (the thing we take for granted and on which all happiness depends). Good fortune is there, however sporadic, however modest, however difficult to achieve. The trick is to recognize it.

  James Atlas

I love this world.

• ...Me temo que la educación es concebida más en términos de adoctrinamiento por la mayoría de los funcionarios escolares que en términos de ilustración. Yo creo que la educación debe ser subversiva para que tenga sentido. Con esto quiero decir que debe cuestionar todas las cosas que damos por sentadas, examinar todos los supuestos aceptados, manipular todas las vacas sagradas e inculcar el deseo de cuestionar y dudar. Sin esto, la mera instrucción de memorizar datos está vacía. El intento de imponer la mediocridad convencional a los jóvenes es criminal.
