You must live in your school

I found this quote regarding homeschool as a lifestyle and had to post it. This is what I am aiming for. Of course, this can be accomplished no matter what form of schooling your family is using. I just love the idea of a learning house. I don't know who James Neill is. Anyone else know? That shall be my first order of business...educate myself about him. Ha ha!
----------------------
You must live in your school. Your house and land you live on must be the school. You are always the teacher and always the student. You must do everything possible to educate yourself about life, the world, yourself, and most importantly, the connections between everything. You must have many people visit the school, and much solitude and silence to reflect on things. You must start this school now. It must be your life.
