    The bourgeois takes economic power very seriously, and often worships it quite unselfishly.
    Nicolai A. Berdyaev (1874–1948)

    It is sentimentalism to assume that the teaching of life can always be fitted to the child’s interests, just as it is empty formalism to force the child to parrot the formulas of adult society. Interests can be created and stimulated.
    Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
