"The moral degradation of the slave is, above all things, the weight that opposes the progress of humanity-- humanity striving to rise and held back by this great burden. The cry of redemption speaks far more clearly for the souls of men than for their bodies." Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, Chapter 1, p.20, Schocken Books, Inc., 1964.
"There exists, then, the "spirit" of the scientist, a thing far above his mere "mechanical skill," and the scientist is at the height of his achievement when the spirit has triumphed over the mechanism. When he has reached this point, science will receive from him not only new revelations of nature, but philosophic syntheses of pure thought." Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, Chapter 1, p.9, Schocken Books, Inc., 1964.
