The Final Word From Treebranch  
The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, 
unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.  Mortimer Adler

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.  Thomas Szasz
   
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write,
but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.  Alvin Toffler
