Like books you will never have the chance to read, there are languages you do not know, and you're not going to get a chance to learn, so you'll never really know what was written, only the approximation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You never know what you will learn till you start writing. Then you discover truths you never knew existed.
If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
You never know what's going to happen. My mother was an English teacher. If someone had told her that I was going to write a book, she would never have believed that. So you can never say never.
The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn.
Isn't that what writing is about? The constant attempt to understand the world?
If you spend all your time reading books that you only pretend to understand, year after year, there isn't much room for anything else.
It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Somehow it's O.K. for people to chuckle about not being good at math. Yet if I said, 'I never learned to read,' they'd say I was an illiterate dolt.
A classical work doesn't ever have to be understood entirely. But those who are educated and who are still educating themselves must desire to learn more and more from it.
Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon.
