“This book, this more (and less and other than), a book. An omnigatherum, a cornucopia—insights, hunches, wisdom in abundance, artless art, skills hard to come by.
In a dark and witless time, Jan and Corita, thank you!”—Daniel Berrigan, S.J.

“This dense, wise, and joyous guide stretches the mind and continuously inspires us to look more intensely. Jan Steward’s radically illuminating teachings are relevant to anyone designing or teaching.”—Juliette Bellocq, Graphic Designer, Los Angeles

“Learning By Heart is much more than a book about education for me. I consider it a manual for life. Ever since I acquired my first tattered copy years ago, the book has held a coveted spot on the night table next to my bed. I frequently open it randomly and read a section before I go to sleep and I find that upon waking I almost always see the world in a new light, full of beauty, inspiration and wonder.”—Aaron Rose, Curator

“Corita reminds us that our humanity should come first. The power that we possess as image makers and community builders is immense. We owe it to ourselves to tap into that potential and contribute to making the world a better place.”—Kali Nikitas, Chair of Communication Arts, Otis College of Art and Design

“Jan Steward’s sensitive photography as well as her creativity always give me great delight.” —Ravi Shankar
