The Long Haul: An Autobiography QUOTES

1 " Any decent society has to be built on trust and love and the intelligent use of information and feelings. Education involves being able to practice those things as you struggle to build a decent society that can be nonviolent. "

― Myles Horton , The Long Haul: An Autobiography

2 " Nothing will change until we change - until we throw off our dependence and act for ourselves. "

― Myles Horton , The Long Haul: An Autobiography

3 " Instead of thinking that you put pieces together that will add up to a whole, I think you have to start with the premise that they're already together and you try to keep from destroying life by segmenting it, overorganizing it and dehumanizing it. You try to keep things together. The educative process must be organic, and not an assortment of unrelated methods and ideas. "

― Myles Horton , The Long Haul: An Autobiography
