Educación para el Desarrollo Sostenible (UNESCO)

“Nos preguntamos cada vez más si lo que la gente aprende es realmente relevante para sus vidas, si lo que aprenden ayuda a asegurar la supervivencia de nuestro planeta. La educación para el desarrollo sostenible puede brindar los conocimientos, la conciencia y las acciones que empoderan a las personas para transformarse a sí mismas y transformar las sociedades.”
(Stefania Giannini)

George MacDonald (Chesterton)

“The originality of George MacDonald has also a historical significance, which perhaps can best be estimated by comparing him with his great countryman Carlyle. It is a measure of the very real power and even popularity of Puritanism in Scotland that Carlyle never lost the Puritan mood even when he lost the whole of the Puritan theology. If an escape from the bias of environment be the test of originality, Carlyle never completely escaped, and George MacDonald did. He evolved out of his own mystical meditations a complete alternative theology leading to a completely contrary mood. And in those mystical meditations he learned secrets far beyond the mere extension of Puritan indignation to ethics and politics.” (Chesterton)
