More From Maria Montessori
- "We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry."
- "Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war."
- "We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being."
