Tell your son to stop trying to fill your head with science — for to fill your heart with love is enough! - Richard Feynman

I think, however, that there isn't any solution to this problem of education other than to realize that the best teaching can be done only when there is a direct individual relationship between a student and a good teacher — - a situation in which the student discusses the ideas, thinks about the things, and talks about the things.

the whole problem of discovering what was the matter, and figuring out what you have to do to fix it–that was interesting to me, like a puzzle

Right. I don't believe in the idea that there are a few peculiar people capable of understanding math, and the rest of the world is normal. Math is a human discovery, and it's no more complicated than humans can understand. I had a calculus book once that said, 'What one fool can do, another can.' What we've been able to work out about nature may look abstract and threatening to someone who hasn't studied it, but it was fools who did it, and in the next generation, all the fools will understand it. There's a tendency to pomposity in all this, to make it deep and profound.
