Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.

~ Leonardo da Vinci

For thousands of years, myths and legends have existed - a
popular wisdom, a camouflaged truth, a reality that kept us in
balance with the cosmos. As a result, our education was more
effective and not like it is nowadays, via books which fill
our brains but only our brains. So it is that the personality is
limited and rebellious, always constituting the real obstacle
to our advancement.

~ Nina Soncco

Education is not the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire.

~ William Butler Yeats

Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body;
but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

~ Plato
