All scientists must communicate their work, for what is the point of learning new things about how the world works if you don't tell anyone about them? (Jim Al-Khalili)
There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge - that is everywhere, that is Atman, that is in me and you and in every creature, and I am beginning to believe that this knowledge has no worse enemy than the man of knowledge, than learning.

Hermann Hesse
As a teacher and parent, I've had a very personal interest in seeking new ways of teaching. Like most other teachers and parents, I've been well aware painfully so, at times that the whole teaching/learning process is extraordinarily imprecise, most of the time a hit-and-miss operation. Students may not learn what we think we are teaching them and what they learn may not be what we intended to teach them at all. View quote
Betty Edwards
Diligent as one must be in learning, one must be as diligent in forgetting; otherwise the process is one of pedantry, not culture. View quote
Albert Jay Nock
Learning has always been made much of, but forgetting has always been deprecated; therefore pedantry has pretty well established itself throughout the modern world at the expense of culture. View quote
Albert Jay Nock

I learnt not to be desperate in bad times and am learning not to be bullish when times are good. View quote
John Elkann
Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. Nearly all men of science, all men of learning for that matter, and men of simple ways too, have it in some form and in some degree. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission. If we abandon that mission under stress we shall abandon it forever, for stress will not cease. Knowledge for the sake of understanding, not merely to prevail, that is the essence of our being. None can define its limits, or set its ultimate boundaries. (Vannevar Bush)
On any longer view, man is only fitfully committed to the rational - to thinking, seeing, learning, knowing. Believing is what he's really proud of. View quote
Martin Amis
When students cheat on exams, it's because our school system values grades more than students value learning. View quote
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I gave my decisions on the principles of common justice and honesty between man and man, and relied on natural born sense, and not on law, learning to guide me; for I had never read a page in a law book in all my life. View quote
Davy Crockett
You see, true learning takes energy, passion, a burning desire. View quote
Robert Kiyosaki
Experience by itself teaches nothing...Without theory, experience has no meaning. Without theory, one has no questions to ask. Hence without theory there is no learning. View quote
W. Edwards Deming
Learning is not compulsory; it's voluntary. Improvement is not compulsory; it's voluntary. But to survive, we must learn. View quote
W. Edwards Deming
If you're not learning while you're earning, you're cheating yourself of the better portion of your just compensation. View quote
Napoleon Hill
I'm learning to fly, But I ain't got wings. Coming down Is the hardest thing. View quote
Tom Petty
What is all your studying worth, all your learning, all your knowledge, if it doesn't lead to wisdom? And what's wisdom but knowing what is right, and what is the right thing to do? View quote
Iain Banks
Anyway, that's what life is, just one learning experience after another, and when you're through with all the learning experiences you graduate and what you get for a diploma is, you die. (Frederik Pohl)

Mick Taylor
I intend no Monopoly, but a Community in Learning; I study not for my own sake only, but for theirs that study not for themselves. View quote
Thomas Browne
The love of money and the love of learning rarely meet. View quote
George Herbert
Faculty Psychology is getting to be respectable again after centuries of hanging around with phrenologists and other dubious types. By faculty psychology I mean, roughly, the view that many fundamentally different kinds of psychological mechanisms must be postulated in order to explain the facts of mental life. Faculty psychology takes seriously the apparent heterogeneity of the mental and is impressed by such prima facie differences as between, say, sensation and perception, volition and cognition, learning and remembering, or language and thought.
