Just heard this one today:

Emotions are just a chemical experience with a voice-over.

Heh, I like that one.

There was an unschooler one someone said that I kind of liked:

"Have faith in me; My lack of being taught says little about me ability to learn."

Just thought that was kind of neat for when people are being down on you for not having a previous official education. ^_^

Here's another of my favorites.

"Her secret was this: while most people searched forever for the needle, she enjoyed the hay."

“Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny.”
Carl Schurz

"To trust children we must first learn to trust ourselves...and most of us were taught as children that we could not be trusted."

[Valerie]

Holy cow. That one took my breath away. How absolutely true and authentic that is.

I originally replied to ask for the source so I could use the quote on my blogs - but a quick google search reveals the author to be John Holt. Such an amazing quote.
