"Commons" is an Old English word. According to my Japanese friends, it is quite close to the meaning that iriai still has in Japanese "Commons," like iriai, is a word which, in preindustrial times, was used to designate certain aspects of the environment. People called commons those parts of the environment for which customary law exacted specific forms of community respect. People called commons that part of the environment which lay beyond their own thresholds and outside of their own possessions, to which, however, they had recognized claims of usage, not to produce commodities but to provide for the subsistence of their households. The customary law which humanized the environment by establishing the commons was usually unwritten. It was unwritten law not only because people did not care to write it down, but because what it protected was a reality much too complex to fit into paragraphs. The law of the commons regulates the right of way, the right to fish and to hunt, to graze, and to collect wood or medicinal plants in the forest.

. "Hat jemand erst akzeptiert, dass Schule nötig ist, so fällt er leicht anderen Institutionen anheim. Lassen junge Menschen es erst einmal zu, dass ihre Phantasie durch lehrplanmäßigen Unterricht reguliert wird, so werden sie für institutionelle Planung jeglicher Art konditioniert. 'Instruktion' vernebelt den Horizont der Phantasie."

"Sie können nicht verraten, sondern nur übers Ohr gehauen werden, weil man ihnen beigebracht hat, Hoffnung durch Erwartungen zu ersetzen. Sie können von anderen Leuten nicht mehr, zum Guten oder Bösen, überrascht werden, weil man sie gelehrt hat, was sie von jedem anderen zu erwarten haben, der ebenso unterwiesen worden ist wie sie."
