My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.

Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible.

The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.

It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts…it is to teach them to think.

Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes different points of view.
