-- Edsger W. Dijkstra, Answers to questions from students of Software Engineering,

It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known but to question it.

-- Jacob Bronowski.
The Ascent of Man, 1973

-- Alfred North Whitehead. The Aims of Education, 1929
