"Where there are servants, social conditions cannot nourish the idea of independence, just as when slavery was prevalent, the idea of liberty was obscure."

"Very often we believe that we are independent because no one commands us and we command others. But a master who has need of a servant by this very fact indicates his own inferiority."

"I do not wish to be served because I am not helpless, but we should assist one another since we are social beings."

~Maria Montessori, The Discovery of the Child

I'm telling you all, the case for Maria Montessori being an Anarchist is strong.
