Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.
From Daniel J. Boorstin
The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes 'sight-seeing.'
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some hire public relations officers.
As individuals and as a nation, we now suffer from social narcissism. The beloved Echo of our ancestors, the virgin America, has been abandoned. We have fallen in love with our own image, with images of our making, which turn out to be images of ourselves.
We read advertisements... to discover and enlarge our desires. We are always ready - even eager - to discover, from the announcement of a new product, what we have all along wanted without really knowing it.
Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be.
The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance - it is the illusion of knowledge.
Technology is so much fun but we can drown in our technology. The fog of information can drive out knowledge.
The courage to imagine the otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life.
A best-seller was a book which somehow sold well because it was selling well.
