Summary

This quote, attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, suggests that there are countless false perceptions and illusions in life, likening them to the infinite number of snowflakes in a snowstorm. It implies that as humans, we transition from one delusion or misconception to another, continuously awakening from one flawed belief only to find ourselves engaging in another. It highlights the idea that our understanding of reality is subjective and constantly evolving, reminding us to remain mindful of the illusions we may unwittingly embrace in our perception of the world.

An educator should think of a child as a garderner thinks of a plant, as something to be made to grow by having the right soil and the right kind amount of water. If your roses fail to bloom, it does not occur to you to whip them, but you should try to find out what has been amiss in your treatment of them... The important thing is what the children do, and not what they do not do. And what they do, if it is to have value, must be a spontaneous expression of their own vital energy.
