"In a world of constant stimulation, [children] benefit from chances to be calm and reflective, and to experience nature and the outdoors." ~Moore

"Another aspect of holism in education is using your entire environment and all your time as resources for learning…. The whole of life is a classroom….Therefore, holism can refer to the entire environment of learning, not limiting it to school or to certain times. Our task as educators is to show a person how to learn, not just to offer information and training." ~Thomas Moore
