“The mere imparting of information is not education. ”

“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.”

“Scientific education is based in the main on statistical truths and abstract knowledge and therefore imparts an unrealistic, rational picture of the world, in which the individual, as a merely marginal phenomenon, plays no role. The individual, however, as an irrational datum, is the true and authentic carrier of reality, the concrete man as opposed to the unreal ideal or “normal” man to whom the scientific statements refer.”

“Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferals of information.”

“The best book is not one that informs merely, but one that stirs the reader up to inform himself.”

“Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child's nature.”
