Quotes
- “I want my children to understand the world, but not just because the world is fascinating and the human mind is curious. I want them to understand it so that they will be positioned to make it a better place.”
- “The biggest mistake of past centuries in teaching has been to treat all children as if they were variants of the same individual, and thus to feel justified in teaching them the same subjects in the same ways.”
- “If you are not prepared to resign or be fired for what you believe in, then you are not a worker, let alone a professional. You are a slave.”
- “Stories are the single most powerful weapon in a leader's arsenal.”
- “Anything that is worth teaching can be presented in many different ways. These multiple ways can make use of our multiple intelligences.”
- “There is very little dispute about the principal constituent elements of music, though experts will differ on the precise definitions of each aspect. Most central are 'pitch' (or melody) and 'rhythm'... next in importance only to pitch and rhythm is 'timbre', the characteristic qualities of tone.”
