"This is the spirit of the men in science, to whom nature freely reveals her secrets, crowning their labours with the glory of discovery." Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, Chapter 1, p.9, 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.
