‘No conclusion of scientific research can be converted into an immediate rule of educational art’ (John Dewey)

The growth of knowledge depends entirely upon disagreement. Karl Popper

“If all of your ideas are correct, will there be room to add new information? Can you pour any more liquid into a full cup?” ― Eric Overby

“Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.” (Karl Popper)
