We do not learn for the benefit of anyone, we learn to unlearn ignorance.

The most potent recreational activity is when we sit back and exercise our minds with great and exciting books.

Innocence is the beginning of ignorance. Experience is the end of stupidity.

A part of learning is unlearning the things that keep you from learning new things.

Knowledge is not obtained through being absorbed in a book, it comes when you brush aside fantasies and sensuality, switching from the unreal to the real.

Learning and knowing something is cool, but superb knowledge comes when you leave your books and become the inner world's friend.
