"For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you."

"A book lying idle on a shelf is wasted ammunition."

"You need to spend time crawling alone through shadows to truly appreciate what it is to stand in the sun."

"Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep herding."

"As you can see, there are quite a number of things taught in school that one has to unlearn or at least correct."

"Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back. I’m going to help you forgive the things that you won’t let yourself forget."

"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."

"Success, for most people, requires unlearning as much as learning."

"Training is a good dog, a constant companion and an utterly loyal and devoted friend, and everyone should have one. Education is a nagging counselor. And, I am convinced, everyone does have one. It happens, however, that some nagging counselors have grown strong by a certain kind of nourishment. Others are weak and puny, even infantile, having never been nourished at all."

"Simply just BE GRATEFUL what you have today, there is millions who'are crying for the place where you are today"

"I am not a teacher, but an awakener."

"It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer."

"Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward."

"We are all failures- at least the best of us are."

"Then why do you want to know?""Because learning does not consist only of knowing what we must or we can do, but also of knowing what we could do and perhaps should not do."

"A little learning is a dangerous thing.Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring;There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,and drinking largely sobers us again."

"The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification."

"Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life. Libraries change lives for the better."

"Hollowness: that I understand. I'm starting to believe that there isn't anything you can do to fix it. That's what I've taken from the therapy sessions: the holes in your life are permanent. You have to grow around them, like tree roots around concrete; you mold yourself through the gaps"

"One goes through school, college, medical school and one's internship learning little or nothing about goodness but a good deal about success."
