“Institutional wisdom tells us that children need school. Institutional wisdom tells us that children learn in school. But this institutional wisdom is itself the product of schools because sound common sense tells us that only children can be taught in school. Only by segregating human beings in the category of childhood could we ever get them to submit to the authority of a schoolteacher.”
― Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
