"I learned most, not from those who..." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“The people who remained victorious were less like conquerors than conquered.”

“This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.”

“A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.”

“In my free time I do differential and integral calculus.”

“Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.”

“Education can no longer be the sole property of the state.”

“I did not even finish my studies”

“It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.”

“The women in my life have all been librarians, English teachers, or booksellers. If they couldn't speak pidgin Tolstoy, articulate Henry James, or give me directions to Usher and Ox, it was no go. I have always longed for education, and pillow talk's the best.”
