- “How you think and create your inner world that you gonna become in your outer world. Your inner believe manifest you in the outside” ― Rashedur Ryan Rahman
- “The most essential prerequisite to understanding is to be able to admit when you don’t understand something” ― Richard Saul Wurman, Information Anxiety 2
- “For so many years, I couldn’t understand why every time I thought that someone finally loved me, like… for real, they would eventually turn to vapor. Every person whom I’ve ever loved is trapped inside of my chest. I’ve breathed all of them in so deeply that I’ve nearly choked and died on every soul that I’ve ever given myself to.” ― Jennifer Elisabeth, Born Ready: Unleash Your Inner Dream Girl
- “There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn.

Martin, The World of Ice & Fire: The Untold History of Westeros and the Game of Thrones
- “Listen with a heart, but answer with a soul.” ― Oscar Auliq-Ice
- “Similarly with regard to truth, won’t we say that a soul is maimed if it hates a voluntary falsehood, cannot endure to have one in itself, and is greatly angered when it exists in others, but is nonetheless content to accept an involuntary falsehood, isn’t angry when it is caught being ignorant, and bears its lack of learning easily, wallowing in it like a pig?” ― Plato
- The ideal school would teach health, wealth, and happiness. It‘d be free, self-paced, and available to all. It‘d show opposing ideas and students would self-verify truth. No grades, no tests, no diplomas – just learning. Actually, you’re already here. Careful who you follow. Naval Ravikant
- “Since the earliest days of our youth, we have been conditioned to accept that the direction of the herd, and authority anywhere — is always right.” ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

- “What good is your knowledge of five thousand books if it doesn’t even help five people!” ― Abhijit Naskar, No Foreigner Only Family
- “I know that this process of ‘me changing my life’ doesn’t just end once I set fire to this list of things I hate about myself. Tonight isn’t as much of a new beginning as it is a violent end and I know the real work hasn’t even started yet.” ― Jennifer Elisabeth
- “Our brain is therefore not simply passively subjected to sensory inputs. From the get-go, it already possesses a set of abstract hypotheses, an accumulated wisdom that emerged through the sift of Darwinian evolution and which it now projects onto the outside world. Not all scientists agree with this idea, but I consider it a central point: the naive empiricist philosophy underlying many of today’s artificial neural networks is wrong. It is simply not true that we are born with completely disorganized circuits devoid of any knowledge, which later receive the imprint of their environment. Learning, in man and machine, always starts from a set of a priori hypotheses, which are projected onto the incoming data, and from which the system selects those that are best suited to the current environment. As Jean-Pierre Changeux stated in his best-selling book Neuronal Man (1985), “To learn is to eliminate.” ― Stanislas Dehaene, How We Learn: Why Brains Learn Better Than Any Machine . . . for Now

- “Many of our problems are broadly similar to those that undermined … Norse Greenland, and that many other past societies also struggled to solve. Some of those past societies failed (like the Greenland Norse) and others succeeded … The past offers us a rich database from which we can learn in order that we may keep on succeeding.” ― Jared Diamond, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
- You can’t learn from anyone if you never stop talking. @TheStoicEmperor
- “Bad luck with women is a determined man’s road to success. For every affliction, he makes, out of indignation, yet another advancement in order to exceed the man that the woman chose over him. This goes to show that great men are made great because they once learned how to fight the feeling of rejection.” ― Criss Jami, Venus in Arms
- “A little learning is a dangerous thing.Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring;There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,and drinking largely sobers us again.” ― Alexander Pope, An Essay On Criticism
- Failure is a bend in the road, not the end of the road. Learn from failure and keep moving forward. Roy T. Bennett
- Keep your head up. Have patience. Keep learning. Neil Strauss
- If one watches with wisdom, one can learn much. But if one watches with ignorance, one can only find faults. Ajahn Chah
- “Through learning we re-create ourselves. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do. Through learning we reperceive the world and our relationship to it. Through learning we extend our capacity to create, to be part of the generative process of life” ― Peter M. Senge
- “We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty. People are terrified — how can you live and not know? It is not odd at all. You only think you know, as a matter of fact. And most of your actions are based on incomplete knowledge and you really don’t know what it is all about, or what the purpose of the world is, or know a great deal of other things. It is possible to live and not know.” ― Richard P. Feynman, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman
- “If we stretch ourselves to open our minds, to see our shared humanity with others, we allow ourselves to see the existence of community and generosity in unexpected places.” ― Sharon Salzberg, Real Love: The Art of Mindful Connection

- “To learn something new, you need to try new things and not be afraid to be wrong.” ― Roy T. Bennett
- “[B]riefing is not reading. In fact it is the antithesis of reading. Briefing is terse, factual and to the point. Reading is untidy, discursive and perpetually inviting. Briefing closes down a subject, reading opens it up.” ― Alan Bennett, The Uncommon Reader
- “The funny thing is, the more you know, the more passionate you feel about life, and the more joy you feel, and the more inspired you feel, but then also the more disgusted you are with humanity […] [this is] the paradox of life.” ― Madonna
- “I want to be the best version of myself for anyone who is going to someday walk into my life and need someone to love them beyond reason.” ― Jennifer Elisabeth, Born Ready: Unleash Your Inner Dream Girl
- “Generally in life, knowledge is acquired to be used. But school learning more often fits Freire’s apt metaphor: knowledge is treated like money, to be put away in a bank for the future.” ― Seymour Papert, The Children’s Machine: Rethinking School In The Age Of The Computer
