Force Paradox

Famous quotes containing the words force and/or paradox:

“Undoubtedly if we were to reform this outward life truly and thoroughly, we should find no duty of the inner omitted. It would be employment for our whole nature.... But a moral reform must take place first, and then the necessity of the other will be superseded, and we shall sail and plow by its force alone.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The paradox of education is precisely this—that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.”
