“They didn't put two and two together. They didn't even know what they knew. I don't know what's the matter with people, they don't learn by understanding; they learn by some other way—by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!”

“A good teacher knows that the best way to help students learn is to allow them to find the truth by themselves.

True learning comes about through the discovery of truth, not through the imposition of an official truth.”

“Learn everything you want to know, and then learn some more. Don't worry if something doesn't go well. You are capable of so much.”

“I don't always understand poetry!''You don't always understand it? Timms, I never understand it. But learn it now, know it now and you will understand it...whenever.”

“Listening doesn't mean trying to understand. Anything, however trifling, may be of use one day. What matters is to know something that others don't know you know.”
