[Quote No.68272] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Freedom of thought, speech, expression and press versus censorship and propaganda:-] The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie -- a lie which you could go on for the rest of your days -- but you get a great number of lies, depending on how the political wind blows. And a people that no longer can believe anything cannot make up its mind. It is deprived not only of its capacity to act but also of its capacity to think and to judge. And with such a people you can then do what you please." - Hannah Arendt
(1906-1975) German-American political theorist, escaped Nazi Germany. Source: 'Hannah Arendt: From an Interview' Comments made in 1974 during an interview with the French writer Roger Errera and published in October 26, 1978 issue of The New York Review of Books Interview.

"[It is not just how much we eat-know but even more how much we digest-understand:] They who have read about everything are thought to understand everything, too, but it is not always so; reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. We are of the ruminating kind, and it is not enough to cram ourselves with a great load of collections--we must chew them over again.

[Quote No.68340] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[A story about the last words of German literary and scientific genius Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which could be an apt motto to face the mystery of life and death for him and all other humans:] For Goethe, love and learning and writing formed a continuous cycle, which didn't cease until he was on his deathbed - and perhaps not even then. At the age of eighty-two, dying of a painful heart condition, Goethe's last words were 'More light!' Probably his vision was dimming and he just wanted someone to open a window. But it is also Goethe's last perfect metaphor: one final plea for illumination, from a writer who had spent all his life seeking it." - Adam Kirsch

[Quote No.68343] Need Area: Mind > Learn
"[Individual freedom and personal responsibility; I am responsible for my own understanding and informed consent:] ...I allow neither the boot-maker nor the architect nor the savant to impose his authority upon me. I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and censure. I do not content myself with consulting authority in any special branch; I consult several; I compare their opinions, and choose that which seems to me the soundest. But I recognize no infallible authority, even in special questions; consequently, whatever respect I may have for the honesty and the sincerity of such or such an individual, I have no absolute faith in any person. Such a faith would be fatal to my reason, to my liberty, and even to the success of my undertakings; it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave, an instrument of the will and interests of others." - Mikhail Bakunin
Chief propagator of 19th-century anarchism, a prominent Russian revolutionary agitator, and a prolific political writer. A quote from his book 'God and the State', published 1882.

"[Failure, mistakes, learning; persistence; growth; health, ageing; authenticity-individualism:] 'Kintsugi: The Centuries-Old Art of Repairing Broken Pottery with Gold' -
Poetically translated to 'golden joinery,' Kintsugi, or Kintsukuroi, is the centuries-old Japanese art of fixing broken pottery. Rather than rejoin ceramic pieces with a camouflaged adhesive, the Kintsugi technique employs a special tree sap lacquer dusted with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Once completed, beautiful seams of gold glint in the conspicuous cracks of ceramic wares, giving a one-of-a-kind appearance to each 'repaired' piece.
This unique method celebrates each artifact's unique history by emphasizing its fractures and breaks instead of hiding or disguising them. In fact, Kintsugi often makes the repaired piece even more beautiful than the original, revitalizing it with a new look and giving it a second life.
...
While Kintsugi's origins aren't entirely clear, historians believe that it dates back to the late 15th century. According to legend, the craft commenced when Japanese shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa sent a cracked chawan - or tea bowl - back to China to undergo repairs. Upon its return, Yoshimasa was displeased to find that it had been mended with unsightly metal staples. This motivated contemporary craftsmen to find an alternative, aesthetically pleasing method of repair, and Kintsugi was born.
By the 17th century, Kintsugi has become common practice in Japan. According to Louise Cort (the curator of ceramics at the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery), it was during this time that a Japanese warrior infamously purchased, broke, and repaired standard tea bowls in order to make a profit. 'That seems to indicate that, by the beginning of the 17th century, kintsugi was a commonly used technique for repairing - and at the same time, ornamenting - ceramics for tea,' Cort explains.
In addition to serving as an aesthetic principle, Kintsugi has long represented prevalent philosophical ideas. Namely, the practice is related to the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which calls for seeing beauty in the flawed or imperfect. The repair method was also born from the Japanese feeling of mottainai, which expresses regret when something is wasted, as well as mushin, the acceptance of change." - Kelly Richman-Abdou

And now, O men who have condemned me, I would fain prophesy to you; for I am about to die, and in the hour of death men are gifted with prophetic power. And I prophesy to you who are my murderers, that immediately after my departure punishment far heavier than you have inflicted on me will surely await you...If you think that by killing men you can prevent some one from censuring your evil lives, you are mistaken; that is not a way of escape which is either possible or honourable; the easiest and the noblest way is not to be disabling others, but to be improving yourselves. This is the prophecy which I utter before my departure to the judges who have condemned me." - Socrates
