A. S. Neill - Summerhill

Love and hate are not opposites. The opposite of love is indifference.

The difficult child is the child who is unhappy. He is at war with himself; and in consequence, he is at war with the world.

Free children are not easily influenced; the absence of fear accounts for this phenomenon. Indeed, the absence of fear is the finest thing that can happen to a child.
