"Love can reach the same level of talent, and even genius, as the discovery of differential calculus."
Lev Vygotsky
"Somehow our society has formed a one-sided view of the human personality, and for some reason everyone understood giftedness and talent only as it applied to the intellect. But it is possible not only to be talented in one's thoughts but also to be talented in one's feelings as well."
Lev Vygotsky
"A mind cannot be independent of culture."
Lev Vygotsky
