Quote examples
Robyn Davidson
Australian Writer
I do not mean to say that we should, or could, return to traditional nomadic economies. I do mean to say that there are systems of knowledge and grand poetical schemata derived from the mobile life that it would be foolish to disregard or underrate. And mad to destroy.
Quote examples
Lawrence Kohlberg
American Educator
The problem of moral change would appear to be one of presenting stimuli which are both sufficiently incongruous as to stimulate conflict in the child's existing stage schemata and sufficiently congruous as to be assimilable with some accomodative effort.
Quote examples
Jean Piaget
Swiss Psychologist
The more the schemata are differentiated, the smaller the gap between the new and the familiar becomes, so that novelty, instead of constituting an annoyance avoided by the subject, becomes a problem and invites searching.
Quote examples
Pierre Schaeffer
French Composer

Quote examples
Thomas Mann
German Writer
For the myth is the foundation of life; it is the timeless schema, the pious formula into which life flows when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.
Quote examples
Angela Carter
English Novelist
In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of.
