Famous quotes containing the words role in, role and/or learning:

    Always and everywhere children take an active role in the construction and acquisition of learning and understanding. To learn is a satisfying experience, but also, as the psychologist Nelson Goodman tells us, to understand is to experience desire, drama, and conquest.

    Betty Friedan (20th century)

    Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
