Famous quotes containing the words main, music, professional and/or activities:

    “In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “O I shall hear skull skull,
    Hear your lame music,
    Believe music rejects undertaking,
    Limps back.”
    —Owen Dodson (b. 1914)

    “In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “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)
