“Modern
life means democracy, democracy means freeing intelligence for independent
effectivenessthe emancipation of mind as an individual organ to do its own
work. We naturally associate democracy, to be sure, with freedom of action, but
freedom of action without freed capacity of thought behind it is only chaos” John Dewy
“The use of our intelligence quite properly
gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When we think
well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy.” Carl
Sagan
