"Who touches the child touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward this infinite future. Who touches the child touches the vital and delicate point where all can yet be decided, where all can be renewed, where all is pulsating with life, where the secrets of the soul lie hid. To work consciously for the child and to go deep down with the tremendous intention of understanding him, would be to conquer the secret of mankind, just as so many secrets of nature have been conquered in the world about us. The activity of the child has always been looked upon as one expression of his vitality. But his activity is really the work he performs in building up the man, it is the incarnation of the spirit". - Maria Montessori
