“In a word, learning is decontextualized. We break ideas down into tiny pieces that bear no relation to the whole. We give students a brick of information, followed by another brick, followed by another brick, until they are graduated, at which point we assume they have a house. What they have is a pile of bricks, and they don't have it for long.”

“Съчувствието е прекрасно нещо. Човек изпитва съчувствие, като види смачкана гъсеница. Извисяващо преживяване. Човек може да му се отдаде и да го разпръсне около себе си - все едно, че си отпуска колана. Няма защо да си стяга корема, сърцето или духа, когато е обзет от съчувствие. Трябва само да погледне надолу. Толкова е лесно. Като гледате нагоре, ви заболява вратът. Съчувствието е най-голямата добродетел. То оправдава страданието. По света трябва да има страдание, иначе как можем да сме добродетелни и да изпитваме съчувствие?... О, то има своя противоположност - но тя е толкова трудна и завладяваща... Възхищението, г-жо Джоунс, възхищението. Но то изисква много повече от отпускане на колан... Затова казвам, че всеки, когото не сме в състояние да съжалим, е покварен. Като Хауърд Роук.”

“Everyone cares about fairness, but there are two major kinds. On the left, fairness often implies equality, but on the right it means proportionality —people should be rewarded in proportion to what they contribute, even if that guarantees unequal outcomes.”

“Mrs. Earwig said the village women know what to do,” said Annagramma hopefully. “She says to trust in their peasant wisdom.”
“Well, Mrs. Obble was the old woman who called, and she has just got simple peasant ignorance,” said Tiffany. “She puts leaf mold on wounds if you don’t watch her. Look, just because a woman’s got no teeth doesn’t mean she’s wise. It might just mean she’s been stupid for a very long time.”

“Morality binds and blinds. It binds us into ideological teams that fight each other as though the fate of the world depended on our side winning each battle. It blinds us to the fact that each team is composed of good people who have something important to say.”
