Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
No one reads; if someone does read, he doesn't understand; if he understands, he immediately forgets.

Nothing important is learned; it is simply remembered.
It is of no use to commit whole pages to memory, merely to recite them once without hesitation; you must think of the meaning more than the words - of the ideas more than the language.
Open your mind to what I shall disclose, and hold it fast within you; he who hears, but does not hold what he has heard, learns nothing. Beatrice - Canto V 40-42
