"The secret of the superiority of state over private education lies in the fact that in the former the teacher is responsible to society ... [T]he result desired by the state is a wholly different one from that desired by parents, guardians, and pupils." |
"Depressed? Of course we're all depressed. We've been so quickly, violently, and irreconcilably plucked from nature, from physical labor, from kinship and village mentality, from every natural and primordial anti-depressant.

"The man is free who is protected from injury." |
"By liberty I mean the assurance that every man shall be protected
in doing what he believes his duty against the influence of authority
and majorities, custom and opinion." |
