"Our fundamental task as human beings is to seek out connections - to exercise our imaginations. It follows, then, that the basic task of education is the care and feeding of the imagination."
- Katherine Paterson, The Spying Heart, 1989

"Most higher education is devoted to affirming the traditions and origins of existing elite and transmitting them to new members."
-Mary Catherine Bateson, Composing a Life, 1989
