      This is well stated and exactly why I believe there is such a huge disparity between teaching and learning.
  • I contend that I am a human being, a thinker, an adventurer – not a worker
  • A worker is someone who is trapped within repetition – a slave of the system

  • We will break down the walls of corruption to let a garden of knowledge grow throughout America
  • I am now enlightened, but my mind still feels disabled. I must retrain myself and constantly remember how insane this ostensibly sane place really is.
