“Experience fails to teach where there is no desire to learn.”
George Bernard Shaw
“A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on a cold iron.”
Horace Mann
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein
“If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world”
C.S. Lewis
“Wonder implies the desire to learn”
Aristotle
“A ''Bay Area Bisexual'' told me I didn't quite coincide with either of her desires.”
Woody Allen
“I never desired to please the rabble. What pleased them, I did not learn; and what I knew was far removed from their understanding.”
Epicurus
