“At last, in the gray dawn of Civilization the fire in the Soul dies down. The dwindling powers rise to one more, half-successful, effort of creation, and produce the Classicism that is common to all dying Cultures. The soul thinks once again, and in Romanticism looks back piteously to its childhood; then finally, weary, reluctant, cold, it loses its desire to be, and, as in Imperial Rome, wishes itself out of the overlong daylight and back in the darkness of protomysticism in the womb of the mother in the grave.”

“I donâ€™t think weâ€™ll get rid of schools any time soon, certainly not in my lifetime, but if weâ€™re going to change whatâ€™s rapidly becoming a disaster of ignorance, we need to realize that the institution â€œschoolsâ€ very well, but it does not â€œeducateâ€; thatâ€™s inherent in the design of the thing. Itâ€™s not the fault of bad teachers or too little money spent. Itâ€™s just impossible for education and schooling to be the same thing.”
