    “The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.”
