“Por el poder que confiere a quienes la producen y logran explotar sus efectos, la ciencia no cesa de alimentar la esperanza de planificar y organizar la evolución de la humanidad hacia un estadio superior. A cambio, a menudo, de peligrosos extravíos.” (Meyer)
by Edward Eggleston
“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)
“There is a very real sense in which certain crudities in the Americans are not so much a part of American crudity as actually a part of American culture. They are not mere outbreaks of human nature; they are something systematically impressed upon human nature.” (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)
