Learn

Emile Durkheim Quote: “Man seeks to learn, and man…”

Man seeks to learn, and man kills himself because of the loss of cohesion in his religious society; he does not kill himself because of his learning. It is certainly not the learning he acquires that disorganizes religion; but the desire for knowledge wakens because religion becomes disorganized.

June 4, 2021 1945, American, Philip Schultz, Quotes by Poets

Tony Judt Quote: “We need to learn… how war…”

We need to learn… how war brutalises and degrades winners and losers alike and what happens to us when, having heedlessly waged war for no good reason, we are encouraged to inflate and demonise our enemies in order to justify that war’s indefinite continuance.

June 3, 2021 1948, British, January 2, Quotes by Historians, Tony Judt

Jane Hirshfield Quote: “I see poetry as a path…”

May 31, 2021 1953, American, February 24, Jane Hirshfield, Quotes by Poets

Theodore Roethke Quote: “I learn by going where I…”

Rod McKuen Quote: “We need sex education in schools…”

We need sex education in schools, but we need it at home first. We need parents to learn the names of the teachers who are teaching their children. We need families to question day-care centers, to question other children and their own as to what goes on.

May 19, 2021 1933, American, April 29, Quotes by Poets, Rod McKuen
