 "Nuevos mundos," Detovart " 'Open, Sesame.'––I think we should have a great educational revolution once we ceased to regard ourselves as assortments of so-called faculties, and realised ourselves as persons whose great business it is to get in touch with other persons of all sorts and condition; of all countries and climes, of all times, past and present. History would become entrancing, literature a magic mirror for the discovery of other minds, the study of sociology a duty and a delight. We should tend to become responsive and wise, humble and reverent, recognising the duties and the joys of the full human life. We cannot of course overtake such a programme of work, but we can keep it in view; and I suppose every life is moulded upon its ideal.” * “It is well we should recognise that the business of education is with us all our lives, that we must always go on increasing our knowledge.” * “As soon as a person asks himself the question, ‘How do I live my life in the best way?’ Then all other questions are answered. Real living takes place not in the domain of outward change, but in the inner domain, where changes can hardly be observed, in our spiritual life.” ~ Tolstoy “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” ~ Jesus Examen: How have the joys of the full human life been represented to me as less than, or not quite spiritual? What am I just now getting in touch with? ~~~~~~~ “Open Sesame.” -- I think: Charlotte M. Mason, School Education, 3:174–75. It is well: Charlotte M. Mason, Towards a Philosophy of Education, 6:54.
