I suggest that an education and reading and facts aren't bad things on which to ponder a few notions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Education should prepare our minds to use its own powers of reason and conception rather than filling it with the accumulated misconceptions of the past.
My reading of philosophy and history is desultory; I know so much and yet so little.
Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of your opinions, the for and against.
My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
Likewise, education can direct people toward good or evil ends. When education is based on a fundamentally distorted worldview, the results are horrific.
Hard distinctions make bad philosophy.
I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
This is the great vice of academicism, that it is concerned with ideas rather than with thinking.
