Additional quotes by Ivan Illich

L'Américain moyen consacre plus de mille six cents heures par an à sa voiture. Il y est assis, qu'elle soit en marche ou à l'arrêt ; il la gare ou cherche à le faire ; il travaille pour payer le premier versement comptant ou les traites mensuelles, l'essence, les péages, l'assurance, les impôts et les contraventions. De ses seize heures de veille chaque jour, il en donne quatre à sa voiture, qu'il l'utilise ou qu'il gagne les moyens de le faire. Ce chiffre ne comprend même pas le temps absorbé par des activités secondaires imposées par la circulation : le temps passé à l'hôpital, au tribunal ou au garage, le temps passé à étudier la publicité automobile ou à recueillir des conseils pour acheter la prochaine fois une meilleure bagnole.

Creative, exploratory learning requires peers currently puzzled about the same terms or problems. Large universities make the futile attempt to match them by multiplying their courses, and they generally fail since they are bound to curriculum, course structure, and bureaucratic administration. In schools, including universities, most resources are spent to purchase the time and motivation of a limited number of people to take up predetermined problems in a ritually defined setting. The most radical alternative to school would be a network or service which gave each man the same opportunity to share his current concern with others motivated by the same concern.
