Child and learning gift a quote by Tagore

Steve Hanks painting

The child learns so easily because he has a natural gift,
but adults, because they are tyrants, ignore natural gifts
and say that children must learn through the same process
that they learned by. We insist upon forced mental feeding
and our lessons become a form of torture.
This is one of man ís most cruel and wasteful mistakes.
Rabindranath Tagore
