“In the beginning the Poets and Philosophers taught the world to see. Then after that any form of education was no longer free.”
“Poets and philosophers are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”
“We must not believe the many, who say that only free people ought to be educated, but we should rather believe the philosophers who say that only the educated are free.”
“Like true philosophers I've come to believe that religion is an illusion of childhood, outgrown after proper education.”
“The system is not working. That is how a paradigm shift begins: the established way of seeing the world no longer functions.”
“a poet is after all, to see”
