"Education should be related to an intercultural and interdependent world. A world in which education teaches man to foster sharing attitudes, to compete with oneself and no with others, leaning to be tolerant, and to develop pity and solidarity for the suffering of mankind. A world free from prejudices, where learning to care, learning to be, learning to share, learning to grasp the hole and act on the parts, and learning to carry on learning should be society's main objectives. " Miguel Ángel Escotet

"La educación debe estar relacionada a un mundo interdependiente e intercultural. Un mundo en el que la educación se orienta a formar actitudes para compartir, a competir con uno mismo y no contra otros, a aprender a ser tolerante y a desarrollar compasión y solidaridad por el sufrimiento de la humanidad. Un mundo libre de prejuicios, donde aprender a cuidar, aprender a ser, aprender a compartir, aprender a pensar sobre el conjunto y a actuar sobre sus partes, y aprender a seguir aprendiendo deberían ser grandes objetivos de la sociedad. "
