Whatever the practical origins of aesthetic discernment may have been, it has been used to create great works of art. When the very loftiest human creations are seen to derive from humble origins and functions, what needs revision is not our esteem for these creations but our notion of nobility.

Oh, God," Shannon moans. "We have to boil water," I tell Kenny. "She wants Cup-a-Soup?" "No, it's to sterilize things." "What's that?" I start rummaging through my house looking for anything useful. I get a knife, scissors, salad tongs, clothespins, a bottle of whiskey. Kenny

Veterinary arts?" Jane asked with a gasp. "Lucy, you must be mad." "I assure you I've all my wits about me," Lucy Abbington answered with a frown. No, she wasn't mad, but her life was about to change - dramatically. She'd long since recognized this as the truth, ever since her father had packed her

Laudation Quotes : pic 000793680
These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity; they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad; they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000201316

Laudation Quotes : pic 000414938

Laudation Quotes : pic 000173668
What we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so. We form no guess, at the time of receiving a thought, of its comparative value. And education often wastes its effort in attempts to thwart and balk this natural magnetism, which is sure to select what belongs to it.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000244593
We put [young children] into kindergarten where their reasoning powers are ruined; or, if we can afford it, we buy Montessori outfits that were invented for semi-imbeciles in Italian slums; or we send them to outdoor schools and give them prizes for sleeping.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001500044

All the arts of refinement have mutual kinship.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001727975
The educator wants the child to be finished at once and perfect. He forces upon the child an unnatural degree of self-mastery, a devotion to duty, a sense of honour - habits that adults get out of with astonishing rapidity.

Poverty of young men alone behind the
stairways, who practice
alchemy inside bottle caps, who know
the altruism of a last syringe.

Laudation Quotes : pic 001791278

Laudation Quotes : pic 000156136

the Continental allowance is too small, and dear, as every necessary of life is now got, a soldier's pay will not enable him to purchase, by which means his consequent dirtiness adds not a little to the disease of the Army.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001620851

Laudation Quotes : pic 000523918
Lennie Smullenski and Anthony Zuck bake the goodies in the back room in big steel ovens and troughs of hot oil. Clouds of flour and sugar sift onto table surfaces and slip under foot. And lard is transferred daily from commercial sized vats directly to local butts.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001553902
Elegance is elimination.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000428234

Most arts require long study and application; but the most useful of all, that of pleasing, only the desire.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000724793
The wearing of costly array is directly opposite to being adorned with good works. Nothing can be more evident than this; for the more you lay out on your own apparel, the less you have left to clothe the naked, to feed the hungry, to lodge the stranger, to relieve those that are sick and in prison.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000555141
our daily associations cannot be trusted to make clear to the young the part played in our activities by remote physical energies, and by invisible structures. Hence a special mode of social intercourse is instituted, the school, to care for such matters.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000170711

Art feasts upon its maker
Laudation Quotes : pic 000142378
The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000590629
the rain falls, catching the trailing edges of net curtains which flow out of open windows like fishing nets lowered over the backs of boats, nets hung neatly between the outside and the in, keeping floundering secrets firmly hidden...
Laudation Quotes : pic 000894601
But how should women perform so wise and glorious an achievement, we women who dwell in the retirement of the household, clad in diaphanous garments of yellow silk and long flowing gowns, decked out with flowers and shod with dainty little slippers?
Laudation Quotes : pic 001850419
I'll be washed and ironed. I'll be washed and ironed and starched.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001283602

Laudation Quotes : pic 001486517
Excusations, cessions, modesty itself well governed, are but arts of ostentation.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000300489
Mud, raised by hurricanes, wells up in the noblest and purest of hearts.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000827085
A city is in many respects a great business corporation, but in other respects it is enlarged housekeeping ... may we not say that city housekeeping has failed partly because women, the traditional housekeepers, have not been consulted as to its multiform activities?
Laudation Quotes : pic 000589521
Beauty, grace, and charm my foot. It's a school for sadists with good tea-serving skills.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000201353

Laudation Quotes : pic 001637047
Cleanliness is the scourge of art.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001100109
Port is not for the very young, the vain and the active. It is the comfort of age and the companion of the scholar and the philosopher
Laudation Quotes : pic 000619559
Every gain made by individuals or societies is almost instantly taken for granted. The luminous ceiling toward which we raise our longing eyes becomes, when we have climbed to the next floor, a stretch of disregarded linoleum beneath our feet.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000854508
Correct spelling, indeed, is one of the arts that are far more esteemed by schoolma'ams than by practical men, neck-deep in the heat and agony of the world.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000552519
Education rears disciples, imitators, and routinists, not pioneers of new ideas and creative geniuses. The schools are not nurseries of progress and improvement, but conservatories of tradition and unvarying modes of thought.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001859125
OF WASHING They that wash on Friday, wash in need; And they that wash on Saturday, oh! they're sluts indeed.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001033968
Wretched game, cricket, keeping romantic youths out in the sun when they should be indoors, applying balm to the foreheads of feverish young maidens.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001558525
Education in the ingenious arts and in the liberal professions is still more tedious and expensive. The pecuniary recompense, therefore, of painters and sculptors, of lawyers and physicians, ought to be much more liberal; and it is so accordingly.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000396529
When the State wishes to endow an academy or university, it grants it a tract of forest land: one saw represents an academy, a gang, a university.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000452623
No man ever stood the lower in my estimation for having a patch in his clothes: yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to have fashionable, or at least clean and unpatched clothes, than to have a sound conscience.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000864249
Tedium and ennui are the demons of modernity. These haunt us when the routines fail, the narratives dissolve, and time disintegrates (p. 718).
Laudation Quotes : pic 000700755
Two forces are succesfully influencing the education of a cultivated man: art and science. Both are united in the book.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000178058
Over the last forty years, many educators, decision-makers, and even some parents have come to regard the arts as peripheral, and let's face it, frivolous - especially the visual arts, with their connotation of "the starving artist" and the mistaken concept of necessary talent
Laudation Quotes : pic 001541914
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgement and execution of business.
Laudation Quotes : pic 000115695
Sweeping from butcher's stalls, dung, guts, and blood,

Dead cats, and turnip-tops, come tumbling down the flood.

Laudation Quotes : pic 001201749
Decoration is asked to be 'merely' pleasing, 'merely' embellishing, and the 'functional' logic of Modernism leaves no room, apparently, for such 'mereness.' This is part of the pity of Modernism, one of the sacrifices it enjoins ...

Laudation Quotes : pic 001018822
To wash one's hair, make one's toilet, and put on scented robes; even if not a soul sees one, these preparations still produce an inner pleasure.
Laudation Quotes : pic 001722512
