The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.

Learning of all kinds goes on best, lasts best, and tends to lead itself on more when it grows out of a real focus of interest in the learner.

The facts are always friendly, every bit of evidence one can acquire, in any area, leads one that much closer to what is true.

The education situation which most effectively promotes significant learning is one in which (1) threat to the self of the learner is reduced to a minimum and (2) differential perception of the field of experience is facilitated

The way of being with another person which is termed empathic...means temporarily living in their life, moving abut in it delicately without making judgment... to be with another in this way means that for the time being you lay aside the views and values you hold for yourself in order to enter the other's world without prejudice...a complex, demanding, strong yet subtle and gentle way of being.

I prize the privilege of being alone.

As no one else can know how we perceive, we are the best experts on ourselves.
