"The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values." ― William S. Burroughs Topic(s): Education Tags: education More From William S. Burroughs "Man is an artifact designed for space travel. He is not designed to remain in his present biologic state any more than a tadpole is designed to remain a tadpole." "Like all pure creatures, cats are practical." "Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape." More In Education "Where the private sector, or anyone else, has skills, knowledge and resources that can help to deliver a high quality of education and to raise standards, we should use them."― Estelle Morris "May this plain statement of facts prevail on the friends of the rising generation to interpose for their welfare; that the education of children may no longer be to parent and master a lottery, in which the prizes bear no proportion to the enormous number of blanks."― Joseph Lancaster "True, a little learning is a dangerous thing, but it still beats total ignorance."― Abigail Van Buren
