Not just part of us becomes a teacher. It engages the whole self - the woman or man, wife or husband, mother or father, the lover, scholar or artist in you as well as the teacher earning money.

Love has the quality of informing almost everything - even one's work.

I see the mind of the five-year-old as a volcano with two vents: destructiveness and creativeness.

Children have two visions, the inner and the outer. Of the two the inner vision is brighter.

There is only one answer to destructiveness and that is creativity.

Education, fundamentally, is the increase of the percentage of the conscious in relation to the unconscious. It must be a developing idea.

We already have so much pressure towards sameness through radio, film and comic outside the school, that we can't afford to do a thing inside that is not toward individual development.

It is not so much the content of what one says as the way in which one says it. However important the thing you say, what's the good of it if not heard or, being heard, not felt?

To feel as well as hear what someone says requires whole attention.

The truth is that I am enslaved... in one vast love affair with 70 children.

There's no such thing beneath the heavens as conditions favorable to art. Art must crash through or perish.

Students should be told, how to think, not what to think.

It's not what you do, it's what it means.

My God, what have they done to you? This isn't a man, it's a broken kite.

I read the Bible every day.

God does not love us because we are valuable. We are valuable because God loves us.

If you are an inventor, then you are destined for blood, sweat and tears.

For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they’ll do in any scene you put them in.

Just doing as well as you did last time is not good enough.

Making a film is like learning the ropes all over again.
