• You can't exceed the system with language.  You can only exceed the system with events; recommended procedures that are better.  You can't exceed the system by telling people to be good, be kind, be considerate...  You have to take away the conditions that makes it necessary for you to be kind.  And to be kind, you design highways that aren't slippery; where no accidents, or less accidents, occur.  In the future, everybody becomes an innovator - a creator.

• Thus these three amendments to the Constitution [13th, 14th, 15th] were ratified while the ten Southern states were under martial law, and "had no law at all."

Even Soviet Russia has never staged such mockeries of the election procedures.

• It is one of the ironies of this strange century that the most lasting results of the October revolution, whose object was the global overthrow of capitalism, was to save its antagonist, both in war and in peace - that is to say, by providing it with the incentive, fear, to reform itself after the Second World War, and, by establishing the popularity of economic planning, furnishing it with some of the procedures for its reform

• Mathematical thinking is not the same as doing mathematics - at least not as mathematics is typically presented in our school system. School math typically focuses on learning procedures to solve highly stereotyped problems. Professional mathematicians think a certain way to solve real problems, problems that can arise from the everyday world, or from science, or from within mathematics itself. The key to success in school math is to learn to think inside-the-box. In contrast, a key feature of mathematical thinking is thinking outside-the-box - a valuable ability in today's world.
