Learning in the arts requires the ability and a willingness to surrender to the unanticipated possibilities of the work as it unfolds.

The arts teach children that problems can have more than one solution and that questions can have more than one answer.

The ultimate aim of education is to enable individuals to become the architects of their own education and through that process to continually reinvent themselves.

Art is literacy of the heart

The arts celebrate multiple perspectives. One of their large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world.

The kinds of nets we know how to weave determine the kinds of nets we cast. These nets, in turn, determine the kinds of fish we catch.

All art forms employ some means through which images become real.

Schools are not about enabling children to have a living but about children being able to have a life.

The disposition to continue to learn throughout life is perhaps one of the most important contributions that schools can make to an individual's development.

The arts make vivid the fact that words do not, in their literal form or number, exhaust what we can know. The limits of our language do not define the limits of our cognition.
