Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or theory:

    “Learning and teaching should not stand on opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning how to learn.”
    —Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)

    “No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.”
    —André Gide (1869–1951)
