"Each philosopher, each bard, each actor has..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.”

“Do what you know and perception is converted into character.”

“Tis the good reader that makes the good book.”

“I got my own back.”

“If a man doesn't find ease in himself, 'tis in vain to seek it elsewhere.”

“Teachers open the door ... you enter by yourself.”

“Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.”

“When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.”

“Knowledge is the distilled essence of our institutions, corroborated by experience.”
