“There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.”

“Men more frequently require to be reminded than informed.”

“As a journalist and observer of mankind, I have more questions than answers. Sort of like an inquisitive child, still eager to learn...”

“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”

“In some cases we learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.”

“Parents should also question much of the contemporary emphasis on special materials and equipment for learning in a child's environment. A clutter of toys can be more confusing than satisfying to a child. On the other hand, natural situations, with opportunieties to explore, seldom overstimulate or trouble a small child. Furthermore, most children will find greater satisfaction and demonsstrate greater learning from things they make and do with their parents or other people than from elaborate toys or learning materials. And there is no substitute for solitude - in the sandpile, mud puddle, or play area - for a yound child to work out his own fantasies. Yet this privilege is often denied in our anxiety to institutionalize children.”
