My Grandma gave me a "new" book to read last week and when I came across this passage, I wanted to make sure I recorded it somewhere. This will likely end up in a notebook but I wanted to post it online as well...
"Experience has taught me that effective learning takes place when, from books, observation, and the informed opinions of others brought out by a serious discussion of the issues, one is able to strengthen one's opinions, to fortify one's reason against prejudice, superstition, and error, to sharpen one's sensibilities, to enlarge and deepen one's understanding of the world and of life, and above all, to keeps one's mind ever open to the acceptance of new truths and the discarding of old and useless ones."
