Education at school continues what has been done at home: it crystallizes the optical illusion, consolidates it with book learning, theoretically legitimizes the traditional trash and trains the children to know without understanding. . .

Source: My Past and Thoughts, vol. 3, pt. 6, ch. 10 (1921; tr. by Constance Garnett, 1924-27).
-- Alexander Herzen, (Apr 6 1812-1870), Russian author; He distrusted governments, was sceptical of western democratic forms, and had great faith in the power of peasants and other ordinary people to organise themselves.
