Quote

Life must be a constant education; one must learn everything, from speaking to dying.

Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life.

Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.

You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.

My philosophy is my learning process. Until you die, you must evolve and improve.

I really think that living is the process of going from complete certainty to complete ignorance.

Sometimes in the world, there's such pressure to follow a certain path that we forget the importance of learning as we go.

Anyone who believes that it is possible to educate the will without cultivating the insight that enlivens it is succumbing to illusion. Clear-sightedness on this point is a task for present-day pedagogy, but it can come only from a life-filled understanding of the whole human being.

I beg of you always to dwell upon the necessity of a thorough understanding of principles, in order to stop the vivacity of his mind, and please do not forget to meditate upon the subject of our discussion.
