Quote

When you run into something interesting, drop everything else and study it.

The habits of study in which I have been brought up have done much to support me. I never allow myself to be one moment unoccupied.

I'm always studying and I've been doing it for a long time now.

I once tried thinking for an entire day, but I found it less valuable than one moment of study.

I study myself more than any other subject; it is my metaphysic, and my physic.

I must study alone, as I am condemned to do every thing alone, I believe, in this life.

Study with desire is real activity; without desire it is but the semblance and mockery of activity.

It frustrates me if I'm not good at something, so I do it until I get good at it.

I'm not easily inhibited by the fact that I don't know something about a subject. It doesn't stop me from dabbling in it.

I think there's something about studying a book which will kill it if you're not careful.
