  2. L.M. Montgomery _ Anne of Avonlea

    Lo que quiero conseguir del curso en la universidad es algún conocimiento sobre la mejor manera de vivir la vida y sacarle el máximo y mejor provecho. Quiero aprender para entender y ayudar a otra gente y a mí misma. {...} Ese es el fin que debe tener la universidad, en lugar de producir un montón de licenciados y graduados, tan atragantados de libros y vanidad que no les queda sitio para otra cosa.

  6. Alfred North Whitehead _ An Introduction to Mathematics

    The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment... We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet, like the ghost of Hamlet's father, this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it.

  8. Wallace Stegner _ Angle of Repose

    I wouldn't live in a colony like that, myself, for a thousand dollars an hour. I wouldn't want it next door. I'm not too happy it's within ten miles. Why? Because their soft-headedness irritates me. Because their beautiful thinking ignores both history and human nature. Because they'd spoil my thing with their thing. Because I don't think any of them is wise enough to play God and create a human society. Look. I like privacy, I don't like crowds, I don't like noise, I don't like anarchy, I don't even like discussion all that much. I prefer study, which is very different from meditation-not better, different. I don't like children who are part of the wild life. So are polecats and rats and other sorts of hostile and untrained vermin. I want to make a distinction between civilization and the wild life. I want a society that will protect the wild life without confusing itself with it.
