Teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experiences.”

“Let us be satisfied simply with what sustains our present life, not with what pampers it.

Let us show that we eat for the sake of living, and not be guilty of living for the sake of eating. The first is a sign of intelligence, the second proof of its absence.”
