Quote by Ellen Glasgow

All change is not growth; all movement is not forward.

All change is not growth; all movement is not forward.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that change and movement are not always indicative of progress or positive growth. It suggests that simply undergoing change or movement does not guarantee development or advancement. In other words, not all changes lead to positive outcomes or personal growth, and not all movements propel us forward in a meaningful way. It serves as a reminder to critically assess and discern the value and direction of change and movement in our lives.

I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. The wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.

I remember: it happened yesterday, or eternities ago. A young Jewish boy discovered the Kingdom of Night. I remember his bewilderment, I remember his anguish. It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.I remember he asked his father: Can this be true?

Tell me, he asks, what have you done with my future, what have you done with your life? And I tell him that I have tried.
