Gross Primary Production

Famous quotes containing the words gross, primary and/or production:

    How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
    Seem to me all the uses of this world!
    Fie on’t, ah fie! ‘tis an unweeded garden
    That grows to seed, things rank and gross in nature
    Possess it merely.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One of the effects of a safe and civilised life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions somewhat disgusting. Generosity is as painful as meanness, gratitude as hateful as ingratitude.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
