John Holt, in an interview about his book Escape From Childhood: "I wanted to make the point that if a child likes the condition of being a child, meaning: helpless, subservient, as I say some kind of slave or super pet -- if he's happy living in that condition then I say fine; I wouldn't disturb him for the world. All I say is if a child has had enough of living in this sequestered and segregated and powerless condition and wants to live more actively and responsibly, move out into the world, like a full human in the world, then I feel he should be able to do it."
