I am a butterfly drunk with life. I don't know where to soar, but I won't allow life to clip my beautiful wings.
Janusz KorczakI exist not to be loved and admired, but to love and act. It is not the duty of those around me to love me. Rather, it is my duty to be concerned about the world, about man.
Janusz KorczakIf you are watching fanatically over the morality of your children you may yourself be not completely in order.
Janusz KorczakThe child--a skilled actor with a hundred masks: a different one for his mother, father, grandmother or grandfather, for a stern or lenient teacher, for the cook or maid, for his own friends, for the rich and poor. Naive and cunning, humble and haughty, gentle and vengeful, well behaved and willful, he disguises himself so well that he can lead us by the nose.
