The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is to running. Simone Weil
...any one who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison. It is the people brought up in the gay intimacy of the slums, Paul learned, who find prison so soul destroying. Evelyn Waugh
Norton Juster quote: " what you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you..."
... what you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow. Norton Juster
People who live in society have learned to see themselves in mirrors as they appear to their friends. Is that why my flesh is naked? You might say - yes you might say, nature without humanit? Things are bad! Things are very bad: I have it, the filth, the Nausea. Jean-Paul Sartre
