" ...In our relationship with children and
         young people, we are not dealing with
         mechanical devices that can be quickly
        repaired, but with living beings who are
       impressionable, volatile, sensitive, afraid,
       affectionate; and to deal with them we have
      to have great understanding, the strength of
                patience and love... "

                 -- J. Krishnamurti

                                                      " That Reality is not be bought, to be
                                                     sold, to be repeated; it cannot be caught
                                                     in books. It has to be found from moment
                                                     to moment, in the smile, in the tear, under
                                                     the dead leaf, in the vagrant thoughts, in
                                                             the fullness of love."
