Word Learning

Famous quotes containing the words word and/or learning:

“The very word “Christianity” is a misunderstanding—there was really only one Christian, and he died on the cross. The “evangel” died on the cross.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“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; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
