"We do not have to be ashamed of what we are. As sentient beings we have wonderful backgrounds. These backgrounds may not be particularly enlightened or peaceful or intelligent. Nevertheless, we have soil good enough to cultivate; we can plant anything in it."

"I don’t want to develop—I want to evelop, because it’s more positive. Similarly, would you rather your love evolve or devolve? That’s why if you need me, I’ll be on the sofa trying to evelop myself as a person."

"Your comfort zone is a place where you keep yourself in a self-illusion and nothing can grow there but your potentiality can grow only when you can think and grow out of that zone."

"Your education is important because with only a few words you can show an employer the depth of your potential."

"Correct teaching brings out human excellence."

"Self-growth comes from being nurtured, not tortured. I had to learn this the hard way. On sale now: Iron Maiden. Only used once."

"Create with the heart; build with the mind."

"New streets should be Twitter friendly and be named with hashtags up front. I’d build a house on ‪#‎LoversLane‬."

"Everything can be explained to the people, on the single condition that you want them to understand."

"I always make sure that the world will prove me right. It gives me the freedom to contradict myself."

"You can't be a rebel without the scars that come with it. Truth is, some days scars are just as ugly as they are beautiful."

"It wasn't science and technology that cause a slow progress, but collective knowledge of the society and market demands."

"A fourth-grade reader may be a sixth-grade mathematician. The grade is an administrative device which does violence to the nature of the developmental process."

"I've come to the point where I never feel the need to stop and evaluate whether or not I am happy. I'm just 'being', and without question, by default, it works."

"We can’t build a nation by keeping the teachers hungry."

"It's much easier on the emotions when one sees life as an experiment rather than a struggle for popularity."

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality.To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

"The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught. To learn entails that the knowledge was achieved on one's own accord - it feels great - but to be taught often leaves a feeling of inferiority. Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop."

"Learning isn't acquiring knowledge so much as it is trimming information that has already been acquired."

"I used to be a bumper sticker kind of writer. Now I’m more developed, and my writing often takes up whole bumpers."
