Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.

I think there was an absolute, deep gap between consensual relations between adults, which people may like or dislike, and people who physically impose themselves on children or misuse their authority to impose on children.

Children, after all, are not just adults-in-the-making. They are people whose current needs and rights and experiences must be taken seriously.

I’ve found what makes children happy doesn’t always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.

Are you the adult that you want your child to grow up to be?

The purpose of adult education is to help them to learn, not to teach them all you know and thus stop them from learning.
