“Freedom without organization of work would be useless. The child left free without means of work would go to waste, just as a new-born baby, if left free without nourishment, would die of starvation. The organization of work, therefore, is the cornerstone of [a] new structure of goodness; but even that organization would be in vain without the liberty to make use of it . . . The history of civilization is a history of successful attempts to organize work and obtain liberty.”⁵ (Montessori 1965, 187-188)

“Style takes its final shape more from attitudes of mind than from principles of composition, for, as an elderly practitioner once remarked, ‘Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.’ This moral observation would have no place in a rule book were it not that style is the writer, and therefore what you are, rather than what you know, will at last determine your style. If you write, you must believe–in the truth and worth of the scrawl, in the ability of the reader to receive and decode the message.”⁶ (Strunk and White 2005, 120)
