Golden Gate Course Description Fall 2009
Here is the course description for Golden Gate, a junior-senior English elective at Marin Academy, for Fall 2009.
Golden Gate
Fall Semester 2009-10
“Most people are on the world, not in it—have no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them—undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate.”
—John Muir, Journal Entry, July 16, 1890
“The question is, does the educated citizen know he is only a cog in an ecological mechanism? That if he will work with that mechanism his mental wealth and his material wealth can expand infinitely? But that if he refuses to work with it, it will ultimately grind him to dust? If education does not teach us these things, then what is education for?” —Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
“If you don’t know where you are, you don’t know who you are.”
—Wendell Berry
