Myles Horton
“Any decent society has to be built on trust and love and the intelligent use of information and feelings. Education involves being able to practice those things as you struggle to build a decent society that can be nonviolent.”
Myles Horton, The Long Haul: An Autobiography

Lewis Mumford
“Ritual, art, poesy, drama, music, dance, philosophy, science, myth, religion are all as essential to man as his daily bread: man's true life consists not alone in the work activities that directly sustain him, but in the symbolic activities which give significance both to the processes of work and their ultimate products and consummations.”
Lewis Mumford, The Condition of Man

John Berger
“All publicity works upon anxiety.”
John Berger, Ways of Seeing

Herman Melville
“All my means are sane, my motive and my object mad.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Lewis Mumford
“Western society has accepted as unquestionable a technological imperative that is quite as arbitrary as the most primitive taboo: not merely the duty to foster invention and constantly to create technological novelties, but equally the duty to surrender to these novelties unconditionally, just because they are offered, without respect to their human consequences.”
Lewis Mumford
