Thank you Nate!
I find myself among a bewildering array of literature this morning, from Escher to Kripke, and two items, betraying the authors' trajectories in life, leap out from a tiny book called "Teachers, a tribute":
"To help the child in its own battle, to strengthen it and equip it, nor for some outside end proposed by the state, or by any other impersonal authority, but to the ends which the child's own spirit is obscurely seeking.'
Russell
"It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it."
Bronowski
