Nothing of importance is ever achieved without discipline. i feel myself sometimes not wholly in sympathy with some modern educational theorists, because i think that they underestimate the part that discipline plays. but the discipline you have in your life should be one determined by your own desires and your own needs, not put upon you by society or authority.

The discipline in your life should be one determined by your own desires and your own needs, not put upon you by society or authority.

I think modern educational theorists are inclined to attach too much importance to the negative virtue of not interfering with children, and too little to the positive merit of enjoying their company.

For even satire is a form of sympathy. it is the way our sympathy flows and recoils that really determines our lives. and here lies the vast importance of the novel, properly handled. it can inform and lead into new places our sympathy away in recoil from things gone dead. therefore the novel, properly handled, can reveal the most secret places of life: for it is the passional secret places of life, above all, that the tide of sensitive awareness needs to ebb and flow, cleansing and freshening.

Rousseau ranks among the great educational theorists of the modern era, even if he was the last man to put in charge of a classroom. young adults, he thought, should be allowed to develop their capabilities in their distinctive way.

I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology.... its importance has been enormously increased by the growth of modern methods of propaganda. of these the most influential is what is called 'education.' religion plays a part, though a diminishing one; the press, the cinema, and the radio play an increasing part.... it may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the state with money and equipment.

I think a reason that a lot of people feel politically paralysed is that it used to be clear how power was organised. but those who have their hands on the levers of popular culture today have great power - and it isn't even clear who they are.

For me, work is so satisfying and it's giving me so much, it's nurturing me so much, that i think it sort of makes up for the sleep depravation.
