Principles
The House of Understanding consists of many individual Rooms. The students of the House study various disciplines, each taught in a specific Room. Each of the Rooms of Understanding's House has a hearthmaster appointed to them. These hearthmasters excel in the disciplines which they teach, and are much like the lecturers and professors of modern universities.

Famous quotes containing the word principles:
“Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your “emancipation.” You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields—discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West—superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Struggle is the father of all things.... It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle.”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
“The principles which men give to themselves end by overwhelming their noblest intentions.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
