Famous quotes containing the words safety and/or environment:

    “Perhaps in a book review it is not out of place to note that the safety of the state depends on cultivating the imagination.”
    —Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)

    “We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking to crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.”
    —Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
