Jean Piaget
Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.
Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget
The most developed science remains a continual becoming
Jean Piaget
The more we try to improve our schools, the heavier the teaching task becomes and the better our teaching methods the more difficult they are to apply.
Jean Piaget
The self thus becomes aware of itself, at least in its practical action, and discovers itself as a cause among other causes and as an object subject to the same laws as other objects.
Jean Piaget
