Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.
Andrea Dworkin

What I know for sure is that your life is a multipart series of all your experiences- and each experience is created by your thoughts, intentions, and actions to teach you what you need to know. Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.
Oprah Winfrey
The true lover of learning then must his earliest youth, as far as in him lies, desire all truth. . .He whose desires are drawn toward knowledge in every form will be absorbed in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly feel bodily pleasures- -I mean, if he be a true philosopher and not a sham one. . .Then how can he who has the magnificence of mind and is the spectator of all times and all existence, think much of human life? He cannot. Or can such a one account death fearful? No indeed.
Plato
However great an intellectual may be, however great one may be as a scholar or a man of learning, one has also to acquire humanness. Without humanness, scholarship and intellectual eminence are of no value
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Meditation here may think down hours to moments. Here the heart may give a useful lesson to the head and learning wiser grow without his books

Learning gives us a fuller conviction of the imperfections of our nature; which one would think, might dispose us to modesty.
Jeremy Collier
There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Douglas Adams
Learning is not compulsory. . . neither is survival.
W. Edwards Deming
Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day.
Zen Proverb
Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant.
Glenda Jackson
That folk music led to learning to play, and making things up led to what turns out to be the most lucrative part of the music business - writing, because you get paid every time that song gets played.
Jackson Browne
My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view.
H. Fred Ale
In the university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools
Doris Lessing
