Seymour Papert

"Although these negative self-images can be overcome, in the life of an individual they are extremely robust and powerfully self-reinforcing. If people believe firmly enough that they cannot do [a school subject], they will usually succeed in preventing themselves from doing whatever they recognize as [the subject]. The consequences of such self-sabotage is personal failure, and each failure reinforces the original belief. And such beliefs may be most insidious when held not only by individuals, but by our entire culture."

(mindstorms, page 42)
