Instruction is important.

We do not learn from experience...we learn from reflecting on experience.

Education is not an affair of 'telling' and being told, but an active and constructive process.

You cannot teach today the same way you did yesterday to prepare students for tomorrow.

Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.

How can the child learn to be a free and responsible citizen when the teacher is bound?

To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness.

I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform.

The real process of education should be the process of learning to think through the application of real problems.

Do you have the courage? Do you have the courage to bring forth this work? The treasures that are hidden inside you are hoping you will say yes." (quoting Jack Gilbert)

Love yourself and the beauty of your uniqueness.

The night doesn't say to itself, 'Here comes a shooting star to interrupt my peace!'

Innocence does not protect you from the evil designs of others.

It is a good idea to obey all the rules when you're young just so you'll have the strength to break them when you're old.

Love is a grave mental illness.

I want to give you back your first kiss, the one that jerk stole from you. And I want it to be something that even a coma can't make you forget.
