" "Children's lies are therefore entirely the work of their teachers, and to teach them to speak the truth is nothing less than to teach them the art of lying. In your zeal to rule, control, and teach them, you never find sufficient means at your disposal. You wish to gain fresh influence over their minds by baseless maxims, by unreasonable precepts; and you would rather they knew their lessons and told lies, than leave them ignorant and truthful.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (June 28, 1712 – July 2, 1778) was a major French-speaking Genevan philosopher of Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution, the development of socialist theory, and the growth of nationalism.

Zayıf olarak doğuyoruz ve güce gereksinimimiz var; her şeyden yoksun olarak doğuyoruz ve yardıma gereksinimimiz var; aptal olarak doğuyoruz ve düşünme yetisine gereksinimimiz var. Doğduğumuzda sahip olmadığımız ve büyüdüğümüzde gereksinim duyduğumuz her şey bize eğitimle verilir.
Bu eğitim bize doğadan ya da insanlardan ve şeylerden gelir. Yetilerimizin ve organlarımızın içsel gelişmesi doğanın eğitimidir; bu gelişmenin bize öğretilen kullanımı da insanların eğitimi, bizi etkileyen nesneler hakkında kendi deneyimimizle edindiğimiz bilgi de şeylerin eğitimidir.
Dolayısıyla her birimiz üç türlü öğretmen tarafından yetiştiriliyoruz. Bu öğretmenlerin verdikleri çeşitli dersleri bir öğrenci birbirine karşıt olarak kullanmışsa bu öğrenci iyi yetişmemiştir ve hiçbir zaman kendisiyle uyuşmayacaktır. Tüm bu dersler bir öğrencide aynı noktalarda buluşur ve aynı amaçlara
yönelirse, bu öğrenci tek başına amacına ulaşır ve buna göre yaşar; yalnızca o, iyi yetişmiş olur.
When once it is proved that men and women are and ought to be unlike in constitution and in temperament, it follows that their education must be different. Nature teaches us that they should work together, but that each has its own share of the work; the end is the same, but the means are different, as are also the feelings which direct them. We have attempted to paint a natural man, let us try to paint a helpmeet for him.
You must follow nature’s guidance if you would walk aright. The native characters of sex should be respected as nature’s handiwork. You are always saying, “Women have such and such faults, from which we are free.” You are misled by your vanity; what would be faults in you are virtues in them; and things would go worse, if they were without these so-called faults. Take care that they do not degenerate into evil, but beware of destroying them.
