Ideas are the root of creation. - Ernest Dimnet

Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.

Too often we forget that genius, too, depends upon the data within its reach, that even Archimedes could not have devised Edison's inventions. We also forget that genius is not genius all the time, although it is superior all the time.

We all more or less consciously note this. We cannot help observing that all serious conversations gravitate towards philosophy.
