“Education in the lower stages must be ‘national,’ it must have its roots in the soil. We must draw our mental pabulum from the culture of our own country. How can that be possible if one is transplanted at too early an age? No, we should not, as a rule, countenance the idea of sending boys and girls to schools abroad quite alone at an immature age. Education becomes international at the higher stages. It is then that students can, with profit, go abroad, and it is then that the East and the West can commingle to the benefit of both”
― Subhas Chandra Bose, An Indian Pilgrim

“To be astonished at everything, of course, is silly, while to be astonished at nothing is much more handsome, and for some reason is recognized as good form. But surely it's not like that in reality. In my opinion, it's much sillier to be astonished at nothing than to be astonished at everything. And what's more: to be astonished at nothing. is almost the same thing as to respect nothing. And a silly man is not capable of showing respect.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Bobok

“I don't like it when people with only a general education rush to solve problems best left to specialists; and that happens all of the time among us.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Bobok

“If I give up the service, I shall not be in want of work to
keep my hands full. Teaching, social service, co-operative credit work, journalism, village organization work, these are so many things to keep thousands of energetic young men busy. Personally, I should like teaching and journalism at present”
