Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Everything we do not have at our birth and which we need when we are grown is given to us by education.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Ordinary readers, forgive my paradoxes: one must make them when one reflects and whatever you may say, I prefer being a man with paradoxes than a man with prejudices.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
