L’architecture est art de suggestion.

All it takes is one teacher - just one - to save us from ourselves and make us forget all the others.

Each country thinks its school is in a specific crisis, without ever linking the school's crisis to that of the society around it.

I've never had time to read. But no one ever kept me from finishing a novel I loved.

We keep quiet about what we read. Our enjoyment of a book remains a jealously guarded secret. Perhaps because there`s no need to talk, or because it takes time to distill what we've read before we can say anything. Silence is our guarantee of intimacy. We might have finished reading but we`re still living the book.

The teacher is commodified, the school is a shop, the subjects are consumer goods. To read, to think, to reflect, isn't a question of want, it's a question of need.

By making time to read, like making time to love, we expand our time for living.
