“All children should be brought up to
express themselves in all the universal languages – the arts. It
is no harder to learn them all than to learn one. The arts are
play, and they play into each other. They are lonely without the
companionship of their fellows."

"If facts are the seeds that later
produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of
the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. "
