"To understand life is to understand ourselves, and that is both the beginning and the end of education."

"Intelligence is the capacity to perceive the essential, the what is; and to awaken this capacity, in oneself and in others, is education."

"Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education."
