Famous quotes containing the words clutching and/or construction:

    We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,

    With an alien people clutching their gods.
    I should be glad of another death.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
