The Book of Children Quotes

“In a better world, every family will learn from children. You are in such a hurry to teach them. Nobody seems to learn from them, and they have much to teach you. And you have nothing to teach them. Just because you are older and powerful you start making them just like you without ever thinking about what you are, where you have reached, what your status is in the inner world.”
― Osho, The Book of Children: Supporting the Freedom and Intelligence of a New Generation

“Portanto, a primeira coisa é que a obediência tem que ser forçada, ou seja, para obedecer, usa-se o medo. Esse medo se torna o inferno, em termos religiosos. Para a obediência, tem que ser usada a recompensa, o que, em termos religiosos, torna-se o paraíso ou o céu. E, para manter o controle de tudo, é necessária a figura do pai. E assim Deus se torna o pai.”
