Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or event:
“Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“No great inner event befalls those who summon it not.”
—Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949)
