Quote

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

When I can't do something, this always impels me to study it.

Desire, burning desire, is basic to achieving anything beyond the ordinary.

Study lends a kind of enchantment to all our surroundings.

Desire is creation, is the magical element in that process. If there were an instrument by which to measure desire, one could foretell achievement.

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.

There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge.

If I like something, I then have to study every single aspect of it to find out if there's more things that I would like, and it's just this weird hunger to want more. I always feel like there's so much that exists.

'Study' was the cry that reverberated in the corridors of my mind. Study to enable yourself to face the arguments advanced by opposition. Study to arm yourself with arguments in favor of your cult. I began to study.

If history and science have taught us anything, it is that passion and desire are not the same as truth.
