    Robert Henri (1960). “The art spirit”, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins

    Teaching   Math   Ideas  
    William P. Thurston (2014). “Three-Dimensional Geometry and Topology, Volume 1”, p.9, Princeton University Press

  • Not the children of the rich or of the powerful only, but of all alike, boys and girls, both noble and ignoble, rich and poor, in all cities and towns, villages and hamlets, should be sent to school. Education is indeed necessary for all, and this is evident if we consider the different degrees of ability. No one doubts that those who are stupid need instruction, that they may shake off their natural dullness. But in reality those who are clever need it far more, since an active mind, if not occupied with useful things, will busy itself with what is useless, curious, and pernicious.

  • An Active mind didn't need distraction in its physical environment. It needed a collection of outstanding books and a good lamp. Maybe some cheese and crackers.

I have a very active mind and I'm a worrier, but in those moments when I choose to put that away, I rest beside the Shepherd in still places. Why don't you give yourself a gift today? Turn off the television or the car stereo, put down the newspaper or the business plan, and in the quietness, rest for a while beside the Shepherd of your soul.

    Sheila Walsh (2001). “Gifts for Your Soul: A Book of Daily Devotions”, Zondervan Publishing Company

We learn an enormous amount not only about the world but about ourselves by discourse with Others.

For example, do I wear a toupee?

    Forever   Mind   Example  
    William Shatner, David Fisher (2009). “Up Till Now: The Autobiography”, p.342, Macmillan
