"...intervention, however, is almost always found to be unnecessary, for the children see their companions at work and thus are encouraged to imitate them." Maria Montessori, Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook, Schocken Books, 1965, p. 69.
"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.
