Only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual.

How can we, with our adult minds, know what will be interesting? If you follow the child...you can find out something new.

Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.

Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality.

The principal goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done-men who are creative, inventive, and discovers. The second goal of education is to form minds which can be critical, can verify, and not accept everything they are offered.

The self thus becomes aware of itself, at least in its practical action, and discovers itself as a cause among other causes and as an object subject to the same laws as other objects.
