Education is not the learning of facts. It’s rather the training of the mind to think.
—— Albert Einstein
The value of an idea lies in the using of it.
—— Thomas Edison
You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach other to pass exams, but nobody knows anything. … You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting.
—— Richard Feynman. “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman” (p. 211-219, W. W. Norton & Co., 1997).
