Jubilation knows and Longing grants — only Lament still learns; with girlish hands she counts the ancient evil through the nights. But suddenly, unpracticed and askant, she lifts one of our voice’s constellations Into the sky unclouded by her breath. Rainer Maria Rilke
I mean that they (students) should not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end. How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living? Methinks this would exercise their minds as much as mathematics. Henry David Thoreau
A steady recognition that the evils which prevent the fullness of moral development are precisely the elements which are also the source of the power that gives existence to whatever moral accomplishments we see about us may eventually lead us to a tolerance we grant to the internal-combustion engine: it is noisy and smelly, and occasionally, it refuses to start, but it is what gets us to wherever we get. We must somehow learn to understand and so to tolerate- not destroy- the free society. Michael Polanyi

I've learned kindness from the unkind, tolerance from the intollerant, and silence from the talkative. But strangely, I'm unthankful to my teachers. Khalil Gibran
The devil and temptations also do give occasion unto us somewhat to learn and understand the Scriptures, by experience and practice. Without trials and temptations we should never understand anything thereof; no, not although we diligently read and heard the same. Martin Luther
Ursula K. Le Guin quote: "There are men right now who have never learned how to talk to..."
There are men right now who have never learned how to talk to women. How will we talk to somebody really different? aliens? Ursula K. Le Guin
Charlotte Bronte quote: "I think you will learn to be natural with me, as I find it..."
I think you will learn to be natural with me, as I find it impossible to be conventional with you Charlotte Bronte
Simone Weil quote: "The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing..."
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
