Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or resources:
“Perhaps a modern society can remain stable only by eliminating adolescence, by giving its young, from the age of ten, the skills, responsibilities, and rewards of grownups, and opportunities for action in all spheres of life. Adolescence should be a time of useful action, while book learning and scholarship should be a preoccupation of adults.”
—Eric Hoffer (19021983)
“Everywhere we are told that our human resources are all to be used, that our civilization itself means the uses of everything it hasthe inventions, the histories, every scrap of fact. But there is one kind of knowledgeinfinitely precious, time- resistant more than monuments, here to be passed between the generations in any way it may be: never to be used. And that is poetry.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (19131980)
