Maxine Greene (1918-Present)
"I'm very influenced by existentialism and the thought that you can be submerged in the crowd, and if you're submerged in the crowd and have no opportunity to think for yourself, to look through your own eyes, life is dull and flat and boring. The only way to really awaken to life, awaken to the possibilities, is to be self-aware."
"I'm absolutely opposed to strict standards, and I'm terribly interested in kids having confidence in their own vision. There is no right way to make art."
"I use the term ‘wide-awakeness’. Without the ability to think about yourself, to reflect on your life, there's really no awareness, no consciousness. Consciousness doesn't come automatically; it comes through being alive, awake, curious, and often furious."
Dr. E.D. Hirsch, Jr. He was born on March 22, 1928 in
Memphis, Tennessee. He attended Cornell and Yale Universities. He taught at Yale University from 1957-
1966. He became a professor of English at the
University of Virginia in 1972.
