“When habit swathes everything, one day follows another identical day and predictability swallows any hint of an opening of possibility. Only when the given or the taken-for-granted is subject to questioning, only when we take various, sometimes unfamiliar perspectives on it, does it show itself as what it is — contingent on many interpretations, many vantage points, unified (if at all) by conformity or by unexamined common sense.”

~Maxine Greene, Releasing the Imagination
