Quotations from Ivan Illich:  A good educational system should have three purposes: it should provide all who want to learn with access to available resources at anytime in their lives; empower all who want to share what they know to find those who want to learn it from them; and finally, furnish all who want to present an issue to the public with the opportunity to make their challenge known.Ivan Illich, (1926 - 2002) Learned and leisurely hospitality is the only antidote to the stance of deadly cleverness that is acquired in the professional pursuit of objectively secured knowledge. I remain certain that the quest for truth cannot thrive outside the nourishment of mutual trust flowering into a commitment to friendship.Ivan Illich, (1926 - 2002) Learning from programmed information always hides reality behind a screen.Ivan Illich, (1926 - 2002) There is no greater distance than that between a man in prayer and God.Ivan Illich, (1926 - 2002) In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy.Ivan Illich, (1926 - 2002) Together we have come to realize that for most men the right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to attend school.Ivan Illich, (1926 - 2002)
