Learning Quotes
-
In most cases learning something essential in life requires physical pain.
Haruki Murakami

Alexandre Dumas
-
There is no point at which you can say, "Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap."
Carrie Fisher

Generally the rational brain can override the emotional brain, as long as our fears don’t hijack us. (For example, your fear at being flagged down by the police can turn instantly to gratitude when the cop warns you that there’s an accident ahead.) But the moment we feel trapped, enraged, or rejected, we are vulnerable to activating old maps and to follow their directions. Change begins when we learn to "own" our emotional brains. That means learning to observe and tolerate the heartbreaking and gut-wrenching sensations that register misery and humiliation. Only after learning to bear what is going on inside can we start to befriend, rather than obliterate, the emotions that keep our maps fixed and immutable.
Bessel van der Kolk
-

What is wrong with encouraging students to put "how well they're doing" ahead of "what they're doing."

Alfie Kohn

You should keep on learning as long as there is something you do not know.
Seneca the Younger

We're always learning. We're all in the process of decolonizing ourselves - removing all the parts of us that are sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist. I mean, everybody in society needs to be in this process because everybody's been brought up in a misogynist, racist, homophobic, transphobic culture.
Eve Ensler
-
Creativity is just learning to do something with a different perspective.
Benjamin Carson
-
Maybe we were all destined to just keep doing the same stupid things, over and over again, never really learning a single thing.
Sarah Dessen
-
You shape your own life, and the shape of your life is determined to a great extent by your attitude. This is an area that you can control, and in learning how to control and direct it, you will have great power over what is going to happen.
Bob Proctor
