Any idea seriously entertained tends to bring about the realization of itself.

One's capacity for metaphor is one's capacity for a full life.

We are shaped by each other. We adjust not to the reality of a world, but to the reality of other thinkers.

What we are teaches the child far more than what we say, so we must be what we want our children to become.

We must become the people we want our children to be.

The parent knows that the child cannot be artificially motivated to learn; they know that he is already motivated by the strongest driving force on earth: his inner intent.

We live in a web of ideas, a fabric of our own making.
