“Many educators believe that, with students of five or six years of age, they have to begin doing something different, called “schooling”. Children’s natural instincts and motivation to learn are no longer trusted in most schools after the age of six. Instead, it is generally believed that children of this age must be told what, how, where and when to learn. This is considered to be “real learning”, as opposed to the play that would occur spontaneously.”

“We think our job as humans is to avoid pain, our job as parents is to protect our children from pain, and our job as friends is to fix each other's pain. Maybe that's why we all feel like failures so often - because we all have the wrong job description for love.”

“Why does a woman’s neutral face mean anger, while a man’s neutral face means neutral?”
