"Whoever touches the life of the child touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future." - Maria Montessori

“The first object of teaching, then, is to stimulate in the pupil the love of learning, and to form in him the habits and ideals of independent study.” [The aim of the teacher is to make himself unnecessary. Grasping this puts the task of home education in a whole new light. G.M] - John Milton Gregory, The Seven Laws of Teaching.
