More quotes by Amos Bronson Alcott
The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence.
Genius is but the free and harmonious play of all the faculties of a human being.
Divination seems heightened and raised to its highest power in woman.
To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
