It is usually unbearably painful to read a book by an author who knows way less than you do, unless the book is a novel.

Generally, education is to curiosity what circumcision is to the foreskin.

Unlike that of a society, the spiritual or intellectual awakening of a person is irreversible.

We are oversupplied with people and books that make us know more, but are undersupplied with those that make us think and live better.

Education teaches us how to make a living, not how to live.

We sometimes learn, not from something, but from not having learned from it.

In a fool, education can be like a full box of matches in the hand of a toddler that is home-alone.

We need not know the how and the why to profit from knowing the that.

It takes generosity to be the one teaching, and humility to be the one being taught.
