'Foarte puţine din opiniile comunicate de Noica unuia sau altuia din numeroşii ofiţeri (care „lucrau spre binele poporului român“–Noica dixit!) au devenit publice, şi anume în „Glasul Patriei“, oficina de propagandă a regimului.

Iată doar o jumătate de rând din cele 29 de pagini ale unei declaraţii, date la ieşirea din închisoare, în 1964, despre Emil Cioran:  „Nu-i un om, e un refuz uman“.'

When we teach children to simply memorize material so they can pass tests, we give children access to the knowledge on only one side of the box. So when life tosses this box up (as it certainly will), it may not land on a side that is visible and accessible. In this case, the kids don’t have access to the knowledge. The end-result answers are not the only things that kids need to know. They need to learn to navigate the course of acquiring knowledge -essentially, to get to the answers by being curious and coming up with a lot of questions, a lot of whys. They need to get accustomed to learning from different directions, playing with concepts, and figuring out how to ask the whys in order to gain access to knowledge.
