"In a society which emphasizes teaching, children and students –– and adults –– become passive and unable to think or act for themselves. Creative, active individuals can only grow up in a society which emphasizes learning instead of teaching."
–– Christopher Alexander (1936-2022), Austrian-born British-American architect, author, and design theorist
