—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.”
