War


Men will waste their efforts, and their wealth, they will lay themselves open to the destruction of their own achievements and run the risk of famine, simply because they have been ordered to do so.

Maria Montessori, Peace and Education, p 26

  1. So I've been following Elementary Observations by RSS feed, then decided today to pop over to your actual page and discovered from your profile that you have this site as well! Love! I'm currently re-reading all of Dr. Montessori's books. It's been over 25 years since I've read them all in total. I have more tangential knowledge now...that makes her seem like even more of a genius! :-)

  2. Thank you! Yes I have been re-reading myself, which is what prompted me to start this one - although it has been neglected of late. If you have a good quote to share let me know ;)
