Giving children the opportunity to stir up life and leave it free to discover.

The activity of the child has always been looked upon as an expression of his vitality.

If we try to think back to the dim and distant past... what is it that helps us reconstruct those times, and to picture the lives of those who lived in them? It is their art... It is thanks to the hand, the companion of the mind, that civilization has arisen.

The only language men ever speak perfectly is the one they learn in babyhood, when no one can teach them anything!

A child's character develops in accordance with the obstacles he has encountered... or the freedom favoring his development that he has enjoyed.

The children are now working as if I did not exist.

There should be music in the child's environment, just as there does exist in the child's environment spoken speech. In the social environment the child should be considered and music should be provided.
