Tara Green Quotes
"Public dialogue and debate are rights that artists and the community are entitled to. For street art to have an impact there needs to be a degree of discomfort and unease, as street art is not there to decorate a city, it is an important way of making a city be more than buildings and become a community that is sculpted by the people and their beliefs that live within the buildings. When art becomes valuable to a community, we need flexible solutions. The Moral Rights Amendment Act may be the key to protecting street art and the communities rights to have work by artists of ‘well respect’ protected from the censorship of the police. It is the artists that produce the work and therefore the artist should be protected as well as the artwork." ~Tara Green, (On Political Mural washed down with white paint in Marrickville, August 27, 2020)
"Street art is more oppositional than public art and has an ‘oppositional aesthetic’. Street artists embrace and use it’s ephemeral and almost performance quality to push boundaries and be noticed on subjects that are of importance at the time. Lately there has been a lot of politically charged murals being painted over just hours after going up, showing a pattern of politically charged paintings being the target of police censorship." ~Tara Green, (On Political Mural washed down with white paint in Marrickville, August 27, 2020)

SIR KEN ROBINSON Quotes
"All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think," he says. "Most students never get to explore the full range of their abilities and interests ... Education is the system that's supposed to develop our natural abilities and enable us to make our way in the world. Instead, it is stifling the individual talents and abilities of too many students and killing their motivation to learn." ~Sir Ken Robinson
“As I see it, the aims of education are to enable students to understand the world around them and the talents within them so that they can become fulfilled individuals and active, compassionate citizens.” ~Sir Ken Robinson, "Creative Schools: Revolutionizing Education from the Ground U
"Creativity is applied imagination." ~Sir Ken Robinson
"Creativity is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status." ~Sir Ken Robinson
"Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. … At the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and at the bottom are the arts. Everywhere on Earth. And in pretty much every system too, there's a hierarchy within the arts. Art and music are normally given a higher status in school than drama and dance. There isn't an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why? Why not? I think this is rather important. I think math is very important, but so is dance. Children dance all the time if they're allowed to, we all do. We all have bodies, don't we? Did I miss a meeting?" ~Sir Ken Robinson
“Everywhere I go, I find the same paradox. Most children thing they’re highly creative; most adults think they’re not. This is a bigger issue than it might seem.” ~Sir Ken Robinson
"I believe our only hope for the future is to adopt a new conception of human ecology, one in which we start to reconstitute our concept of the richness in human capacity." ~Sir Ken Robinson
"I believe this passionately, that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out of it." ~Sir Ken Robinson
“I often tell politicians: If you want to stop the problems in education, stop causing them.” ~Sir Ken Robinson
"One size does not fit all. Some of the most brilliant, creative people I know did not do well at school. Many of them didn't really discover what they could do - and who they really were - until they leave school and recovered from their education." ~Sir Ken Robinson
"Our task is to educate [our students'] whole being so they can face the future. We may not see that future but they will, and our job is to help them make something of it." ~Sir Ken Johnson
“Public schools were not only created in the interests of industrialism—they were created in the image of industrialism. In many ways, they reflect the factory culture they were designed to support. This is especially true in high schools, where school systems base education on the principles of the assembly line and the efficient division of labour. Schools divide the curriculum into specialist segments: some teachers install math in the students, and others install history. They arrange the day into standard units of time, marked out by the ringing of bells, much like a factory announcing the beginning of the workday and the end of breaks. Students are educated in batches, according to age, as if the most important thing they have in common is their date of manufacture. They are given standardised tests at set points and compared with each other before being sent out onto the market. I realise this isn’t an exact analogy and that it ignores many of the subtleties of the system, but it is close enough.” ~Sir Ken Robinson, "The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything"
"Successful Schools don't focus on output; they focus on culture in the same way Sustainable Farmers focus on the soil. You get the culture right, and everything takes care of itself. That really means a culture of compassion, of collaboration, of empathy, and of the valuing of individuals - and the necessity of [having] our lives thriving through our joint participation." ~Sir Ken Robinson, 7th May 2020.
"The best evidence of human creativity is our trajectory through life." ~Sir Ken Robinson
"The conventional academic curriculum is almost focused almost entirely on the world around us and pays little attention to the inner world. We see the results of that every day in boredom, disengagement, stress, bullying, anxiety, depression, and dropping out." ~Sir Ken Robinson
"There isn't an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why? Why not? I think this is rather important. I think math is very important, but so is dance. Children dance all the time if they're allowed to, we all do. We all have bodies, don't we? Did I miss a meeting?" ~Sir Ken Robinson
“Too many feel that what they’re good at isn’t valued by schools. Too many think they’re not good at anything.” ~Sir Ken Robinson, from "The Element - How finding your passion changes everything"
"We have to recognise education is a human system and there are conditions under which people thrive, and conditions under which they don't." ~Sir Ken Robinson

Timothy Keller Quotes
"Suffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire." ~Timothy Keller
"To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us." ~Timothy Keller

Frédéric Bastiat Quotes
"And what is liberty, whose very name makes the heart beat faster and shakes the world? Is it not the union of all liberties - liberty of conscience, of education, of association, of the press, of travel, or labor, or trade?" ~Frédéric Bastiat
"As long as it is admitted that the law may be diverted from its true purpose--that it may violate property instead of protecting it--then everyone will want to participate in making the law, either to protect himself against plunder or to use it for plunder.” ~Frédéric Bastiat
"Each of us has a natural right, from God, to defend his person, his liberty, and his property.” ~Frédéric Bastiat
"Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state wants to live at the expense of everyone." ~Frédéric Bastiat
"Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." ~Frédéric Bastiat
"If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?” ~Frédéric Bastiat
"Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” ~Frédéric Bastiat
"Often the masses are plundered and do not know it." ~Frédéric Bastiat
"The most urgent necessity is, not that the State should teach, but that it should allow education. All monopolies are detestable, but the worst of all is the monopoly of education.” ~Frédéric Bastiat
"The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else." ~Frédéric Bastiat
“The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended.” ~Frédéric Bastiat
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” ~Frédéric Bastiat

John Lewis Quotes
“Anchor the eternity of love in your own soul… Lean toward the whispers of your own heart… Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge… But when it is your time don’t be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice.” ~John Lewis (lifted from Brainpickings via FB)
"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." ~John Lewis"Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.” ~John Lewis
"I appeal to all of you to get into this great revolution that is sweeping this nation. Get in and stay in the streets of every city, every village and hamlet of this nation until true freedom comes, until the revolution of 1776 is complete." ~John Lewis
"Though I may not be here with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe." ~John Lewis
“We have been too quiet for too long. There comes a time when you have to say something. You have to make a little noise. You have to move your feet. This is the time.” ~John Lewis
“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something. Our children and their children will ask us, ‘What did you do? What did you say?’ For some, this vote may be hard. But we have a mission and a mandate to be on the right side of history.” ~John Lewis
"You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone – any person or any force – dampen, dim or diminish your light. Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant." ~John Lewis
