Know thyself...life long learning and the self educated citizen

a link to a cool short post which I found today (by Brainpicker)

Found a post on

learning by Maria Popova.

I’m not a big fan of quotes, but these are quite relevant.

And some of them are from a long time ago, funny enough:

Education, of course, is always based on what was. Education shows you what has been and leaves you to make the deduction as to what may be. Education as we pursue it cannot prophesy, and does not. (1955,

William Gibson on cultivating a personal micro-culture.)
