Robert Kanigel
“His academic failure forced him to develop unconventionally, free of the social straightjacket that might have constrained his progress to well-worn paths.”
Robert Kanigel, The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan

A.J. Aaron
“Gaining true knowledge, as opposed to gaining information, is done experientially.”
A.J. Aaron, Reluctant Gods

Mortimer J. Adler
“I have seen the fruits of adult education. It can be done. And anyone who has worked in adult education knows that he must appeal for self-help. There are no monitors to keep adults at the task. There are no examinations and grades, none of the machinery of external discipline. The person who learns something out of school is self-disciplined. He works for merit in his own eyes, not credit from the registrar. (1940 ed. page 104)”
Mortimer J. Adler, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading

Beth Alvarez
“The worst part about ugly people is that they hide it all behind a mask of prettiness. You never even realize they’re ugly until you’re close enough to see what’s beneath it. And by then, it’s too late.”
Beth Alvarez, Gale's Gift

“There is too much talk nowadays and too little thinking.”
William C. Hunter, Think A Book for To-day
