To Understand Is To Invent.

I Could Not Think Without Writing.

Play Is The Work Of Childhood.

Education, For Most People, Means Trying To Lead The Child To Resemble The Typical Adult Of His Society . . . But For Me And No One Else, Education Means Making Creators. . . . You Have To Make Inventors, Innovators...not Conformists

In Certain Circumstances Where He Experiments In New Types Of Conduct By Cooperating With His Equals, The Child Is Already An Adult. There Is An Adult In Every Child And A Child In Every Adult. ... There Exist In The Child Certain Attitudes And Beliefs Which Intellectual Development Will More And More Tend To Eliminate: There Are Others Which Will Acquire More And More Importance. The Later Are Not Derived From The Former But Are Partly Antagonistic To Them.

I Am Convinced That There Is No Sort Of Boundary Between The Living And The Mental Or Between The Biological And The Psychological. From The Moment An Organism Takes Account Of A Previous Experience And Adapts To A New Situation, That Very Much Resembles Psychology.
