Play Is The Work Of Childhood.

If Logic Itself Is Created Rather Than Being Inborn, It Follows That The First Task Of Education Is To Form Reasoning.

Education, For Most People, Means Trying To Lead The Child To Resemble The Typical Adult Of His Society . . . But For Me And No One Else, Education Means Making Creators. . . . You Have To Make Inventors, Innovators...not Conformists

Every Time We Teach A Child Something, We Keep Him From Inventing It Himself. On The Other Hand, That Which We Allow Him To Discover For Himself Will Remain With Him Visible For The Rest Of His Life.

In Other Words, Knowledge Of The External World Begins With An Immediate Utilisation Of Things, Whereas Knowledge Of Self Is Stopped By This Purely Practical And Utilitarian Contact.

The Principle Goal Of Education In The Schools Should Be Creating Men And Women Who Are Capable Of Doing New Things, Not Simply Repeating What Other Generations Have Done.
