The purpose of education...

The purpose of education is that we might come to understand the world and our place in it, that we might be fueled in our actions by our own resources of depth and intelligence. We should be educated not to serve the system but to run the system. In a democracy, we must all be leaders, and we cannot lead what we are ignorant of.
