“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”
― Stanley Kubrick

“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”
― Socrates

“By seeking and blundering we learn.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
― Plutarch
