“It should be realized that genuine interest cannot be forced. Therefore all methods of education based on centers of interest which have been chosen by adults are wrong. Moreover, these centers of interest are superfluous for the child is interested in everything. A global vision of cosmic events fascinates children and their interest will soon remain fixed on one particular part as a starting point for more intensive studies… The children will develop a kind of philosophy which teaches them the unity of the universe.”
Dr Maria Montessori speaking at the University of Amsterdam in 1950.
