We are well practiced at educating the mind for critical reasoning, critical writing, and critical speaking, as well as for scientific and quantitative analysis. But is this sufficient? In a world beset with conflicts internal as well as external, isn't it of equal if not greater importance to balance the sharpening of the intellects with the systematic cultivation of our own hearts?
Arthur Zajonc, Love and Knowledge: Recovering the Heart of Learning Through Contemplation, delivered at the "Contemplative Practices in Education: Making Peace in Ourselves and Peace in the World" conference at Columbia University, February 13, 2005
