Titus hoped he lived long enough to say whatever was the first thing that came to his mind without fear of reproach.
“From the moment I first started studying joy, it was clear that the liveliest places and objects all have one thing in common: bright, vivid color. Whether it’s a row of houses painted in bold swaths of candy hues or a display of colored markers in a stationery shop, vibrant color invariably sparks a feeling of delight.”

“Indeed, as Arum and Roksa (2011) so eloquently reveal, as far as most students are concerned, the certifying power of the degree is the sole purpose of going to college, besides, of course, the social life. Once they have that degree, they believe they can become part of the workforce, prosper, and be happy. In this context, then, educating the whole student means little more than creating a student who can slide easily into the workforce, participating in the status quo.”

“My own simplistic definition would be: dualism results when we make necessary distinctions, and then take those distinctions too seriously. We turn those distinctions into dividing lines rather than connecting lines; we use them as no-trespassing signs. We not only distinguish, we separate. And the separation usually leads to ranking: one side is superior to and dominant over the other. Thus, we have the dualism of matter and spirit, East and West, nature and history, male and female, God and the world.”
