I don't think that anyone can really understand anything until it's understood on a cellular, emotional level.

I think that books are fundamentally educational.

I just can't read, the way other people can, these tediously elaborated books.

You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way.

Those who understand only what can be explained understand very little.

There is only so much I can understand and not screw up.

I found a discarded textbook on calculus in a wastebasket and read it from cover to cover.

As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn't serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can't be taught.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Science in textbooks is not fun. But if you start doing science yourself, you will find delight.
