“School prepares people for the alienating institutionalization of life, by teaching the necessity of being taught. Once this lesson is learned, people loose their incentive to develop independently; they no longer find it attractive to relate to each other, and the surprises that life offers when it is not predetermined by institutional definition are closed.”
― Ivan Illich

“Houve um período em que o ceticismo foi o ramo filosófico favorito do Rex. E isso acabou por fazer com que se tornasse também o meu. Na verdade, um dos meus momentos favoritos como pai aconteceu por obra e graça de Descartes. O Rex tinha 7 anos. Fez um postal para o meu aniversário. Escreveu: Adoro-te, logo existo. Proponho aqui e agora que substituamos o cogito pelo te amo. Funciona igualmente bem. Serve para qualquer estado mental. Portanto, ao olhar para dentro, procure o amor.”

“As Robin Morgan wrote so wisely, "Hate generalizes, love specifies". That's what makes going on the road so important. It definitely specifies.”
― Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road

“Suppose magic happens, so that all your difficult thoughts and feelings become like water off a duck’s back; they lose their power over you; they no longer bring you down or hold you back… What projects, activities, or tasks would you start, resume, or continue? What or who would you stop avoiding? What would you start doing or do more of? How would you treat yourself differently? How would you treat others differently, in your most important relationships?”
