“Knowledge is a unique kind of property, indeed: you can share it with others, while still possessing it.”

“Only the foolish would think that wisdom is something to keep locked in a drawer. Only the fearful would feel empowerment is something best kept to oneself, or the few, and not shared with all.”

“The purpose of education should be character-building.”

“Education is a system designed to make you feel inferior, yet they encourage you to accept it in order to be superior”

“There is nothing to be gained by pretending that academic involvement is necessary, or even always desirable, in the quest for truth and knowledge.”

“The purpose of education should ultimately be the advancement of the species. And for this to actually happen, the world needs the kind of education by means of which character is formed, strength of the mind is increased and the human intellect is expanded beyond its own limits.”

“The one thing no one can ever take from you is your education…”

“Knowledge is strength.”

“Education means nourishing the mind and make it develop in order to see beyond the limitations of current social perception – it means breaking the barriers of the rugged sociological system that impede in the progress of human civilization – it means trying out new things for the first time in human history and succeeding in a few while failing in some. And that is how a species grows to become more advanced.”
