Book cover for Assassin's Apprentice (Farseer Trilogy, #1)
Is it the nature of the world that all things seek a rhythm, and in that rhythm a sort of peace? Certainly it has always seemed so to me. All events, no matter how earth-shaking or bizarre, are diluted within moments of their occurrence by ...more

Harry Leslie Smith
“In November, when our nation remembers her fallen soldiers and honours the lost youth of my generation, the Prime Minister, government leaders and the hollow men of business affix paper poppies to their lapels and afford the dead of war two minutes' silence. Afterwards, they speak golden platitudes about the struggle and the heroism of that time. Yet the words they speak are meaningless because they have surrendered the values my generation built after the horrors of the Second World War.”
Harry Leslie Smith, Harry's Last Stand: How the world my generation built is falling down, and what we can do to save it

Malcolm   Harris
“The working activities during childhood moratorium are disguised by pedagogical ideologies…. Learning is not understood as a type of work, whereby children contribute productively to the future social and economic development of the society. Only the adult work of teachers is emphasized as productive contribution to the development of human capital. The corresponding learning activities of pupils are thus defined, not as work but as a form of intellectual consumption. 5”
Malcolm Harris, Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials

Alan Garner
“That man’s gaga,” said Roger when they were out of hearing. “He’s so far gone he’s coming back.”
Alan Garner, The Owl Service

Terry Pratchett
“They’d come here with things to say, even if they didn’t know how to say them. The thing was to keep your head down. But if you did keep your head down, you’d drown in other people’s words.
“—fully taken into. Account; at every stage of the planning process—”
Johnny stood up, because it was that or drowning. He felt his head break through the tide of words, and he breathed in. And then out.
"Excuse me, please?”
Terry Pratchett, Johnny and the Dead

Terry Pratchett
“Cards and boards, [Johnny] thought. And the dead. That's not dark forces. Making a fuss about cards and heavy metal and going on about Dungeons and Dragons stuff because it's got demon gods in it is like guarding to door when it is really coming up through the floorboards. Real dark forces... aren't dark. They're sort of gray, like Mr. Grimm. They take all the color out of life; they take a town like Blackbury and turn it into frightened streets and plastic signs and Bright New Futures and towers where no one wants to live and no one really does live. The dead seem more alive than us. And everyone becomes gray and turns into numbers and then, somewhere, someone starts to do arithmetic...”
Terry Pratchett, Johnny and the Dead
