“Numa palavra, o objectivo da educação é prever a originalidade e reduzir a excepção. É por isso que a primeira preocupação de toda a individualidade que seja um pouco original, a partir do momento em que volta a tomar posse de si mesma, é fazer tábua rasa das pedagogias inculcadas, recolocar-se na presença da vida, recuperar o sentido da realidade obliterado por uma visão convencional das coisas, em suma, refazer a sua alma.”

“My mother used to tell me, every time we were watching Cinderella, that Cinderella had the best attitude and that I should strive to be just like her. Later when I grew up, I resented my mother for teaching me that way, as I saw it as the reason why I often felt preyed on by people who were much more like the ugly stepsisters. But now, all of a sudden, I’ve realized that what my mom meant was that no matter how ugly people can be to you, no matter how rough they treat you, no matter how much their actions tempt you to become your worst— you should overcome them by never letting them steal your gentleness. People only win when they are able to take away your gentleness, your sweetness. But if you remember that you’re a princess, and they’re just not, at the end of the day you win! Still, my mom should have pointed me in the direction of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Cinderella is fine, but had she taught me that Belle was the best way to be, I would have probably never grown to resent that. Belle always retained her gentleness but she could still beat up a pack of wolves at the same time and that’s the kind of princess I wanted to be like! Not to mention she loved books!”
