All genuine learning is active, not passive Picture Quote #1

When we ask for love, we don't ask others to be fair to us - but rather to care for us, to be considerate of us. There is a world of difference here between demanding justice. And begging or pleading for love Picture Quote #1

Conjugal love, or the friendship of spouses, can persist even after sexual desires have weakened, withered, and disappeared Picture Quote #1

Ask others about themselves, at the same time, be on guard not to talk too much about yourself Picture Quote #1

If you ask a living teacher a question, he will probably answer you. If you are puzzled by what he says, you can save yourself the trouble of thinking by asking him what he means. If, however, you ask a book a question, you must answer it yourself. In this respect a book is like nature or the world. When you question it, it answers you only to the extent that you do the work of thinking an analysis yourself Picture Quote #1

Teachers may think they are stuffing minds, but all they are ever affecting is the memory. Nothing can ever be forced into anyone’s mind except by brainwashing, which is the very opposite of genuine teaching Picture Quote #1
