Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

Forget them. Burn all, burn everything. Fire is bright and fire is clean.

Let the flame of anger free you of all falsity.

Teaching Fire a Lesson

Fire is hot. That's what it does. If you get burned by fire, you can be annoyed at yourself, but being angry at fire doesn't do you much good. And trying to teach the fire a lesson so it won't be hot next time is certainly not time well spent.

Our inclination is to give fire a pass, because it's not human. But human beings are similar, in that they're not going to change any time soon either.

Eduquer, c'est allumer un feu

The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame.
He might get burned, but he's in the game.
And once he's in, he can't go back, he'll
Beat his wings 'til he burns them black...
No, The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. . .
The Moth don't care if The Flame is real,
'Cause Flame and Moth got a sweetheart deal.
And nothing fuels a good flirtation,
Like Need and Anger and Desperation...
No, The Moth don't care if The Flame is real. . .

You don’t need to choose mediocrity when fire exists. Fire is passion and passion is aliveness, and for once, allow your belief to undo your disbelief so destiny can hold you in its ecstatic, flaming grasp.

It is better to burn than to disappear.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Be ignited, or be gone.

Be like the fountain that overflows, not like the cistern that merely contains.

Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.

Oh, thou clear spirit, of thy fire thou madest me, and like a true child of fire, I breathe it back to thee.

for we women are not only the deities of the household fire, but the flame of the soul itself.
