"We cannot teach children the danger of telling lies to men without realising, on the man's part, the danger of telling lies to children."By RoussaeuEmile, or On Education
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827)
"Thinking leads man to knowledge. He may see and hear, and read and learn, as much as he please; he will never know any of it, except that which he has thought over, that which by thinking he has made the property of his mind. Is it then saying too much if I say, that man by thinking only becomes truly man? Take away thought from man's life, and what remains?"About Pestalozzi

"Education as the practice of freedom--as opposed to education as the practice of domination--denies that man is abstract, isolated, independent and unattached to the world; it also denies that the world exists as reality apart from people. Authentic reflection considers neither abstract man nor the world without people, but people in their relations with the world."By FrierePedagogy of the OppressedAbout Friere
