John Dewey Quotes
While The Living Thing May Easily Be Crushed By Superior Force, It None The Less Tries To Turn The Energies Which Act Upon It Into Means Of Its Own Further Existence. If It Cannot Do So, It Does Not Just Split Into Smaller Pieces (at Least In The Higher Forms Of Life), But Loses Its Identity As A Living Thing. As Long As It Endures, It Struggles To Use Surrounding Energies In Its Own Behalf. It Uses Light, Air, Moisture, And The Material Of Soil. To Say That It Uses Them Is To Say That It Turns Them Into Means Of Its Own Conservation. As Long As It Is Growing, The Energy It Expends In Thus Turning The Environment To Account Is More Than Compensated For By The Return It Gets: It Grows.
