“See and realize that this world is not permanent. Neither late nor early flowers will remain.”
Ryokan, Sky Above, Great Wind: The Life and Poetry of Zen Master Ryokan

Jonathan Kozol
“Unless we have the wealth to pay for private education, we are compelled by law to go to public school—and to the public school in our district. Thus the state, by requiring attendance but refusing to require equity, effectively requires inequality. Compulsory inequity, perpetuated by state law, too frequently condemns our children to unequal lives.”
Jonathan Kozol, Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools

Beau Taplin
“Human beings
are made of water–-

we were not designed
to hold ourselves together

rather run freely
like oceans
like rivers”
Beau Taplin, Hunting Season

“There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel with their country.”
William Sloane Coffin

Jonathan Kozol
“But what is now encompassed by the one word (“school”) are two very different kinds of institutions that, in function, finance and intention, serve entirely different roles. Both are needed for our nation’s governance. But children in one set of schools are educated to be governors; children in the other set of schools are trained for being governed. The former are given the imaginative range to mobilize ideas for economic growth; the latter are provided with the discipline to do the narrow tasks the first group will prescribe.”
Jonathan Kozol, Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools
