The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all, it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else. – H. L. Mencken	added by Normando 3 years ago

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. – Marianne Williamson	added by Shai_Y 4 years ago
