“We had many books and pictures... my parents' way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist.

“I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better , if less "showily." Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself... Teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experiences.” IfsThinkingMindKindChildrenIdeasRealSeemsLeftTeachingSpecialTaughtBuiltIndependentImpressionIdiotSuspectsAssociationArtificialComes And GoesReal ThingsEducation SystemSchooledEpistemologyHomeschoolingUnschoolingPedagogySupposition Author:Anne Sullivan Macy

“I always had hopes of being a big star. But as you get older, you aim a little lower. Everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. Then you think, you've made a mark on the world if you just get through it, and a few people remember your name. Then you've left a mark. You don't have to bend the whole world. I think it's better to just enjoy it. Pay your dues, and just enjoy it. If you shoot a arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you.” PeopleIfsThinkingWorldWantLittlesMadeRealWholeBigsRememberNamesLeftStarsEnjoyPayMarkAimDuesImpressionWhole WorldArrows Author:Dorian Corey
