“In sum, then, "thinking about thinking" has to be a principal ingredient of any empowering practice of education.”

“Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary.

Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living.”

“Practice, practice, practice writing. Writing is a craft that requires both talent and acquired skills. You learn by doing, by making mistakes and then seeing where you went wrong.”

“Moral judgments are linguistic survivals from the practices of classical theism which have lost the context provided by these practices.”

“Practice transforms a skill into an art”
