Is it any wonder that socrates was outraged at the accusation he took money to teach? even then, philosophers saw clearly the inevitable direction the professionalization of teaching would take, that of pre-empting the teaching function, which, in a healthy community, belongs to everyone.

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

The difference between socrates and jesus is that no one had ever been put to death in socrates' name. and that is because socrates' ideas were never made law. law, in whatever name, protects privilege.

Mine was a patchwork god, sewn together from bits of rag and ribbon, eastern and western, pagan and hebrew, everything but the kitchen sink and jesus.

It is not in understanding a set of doctrines; not in outward comprehension of the "scheme of salvation," that rest and peace are to be found, but in taking up, in all lowliness and meekness, the yoke of the lord jesus christ.
