In the book

Let me give you the working parts. First, understand what education actually is: not the stuffing of facts into your head but a discipline whose object is to learn how to think — and once you have mastered that, you can turn it on anything. The deepest things, in fact, cannot be handed to you at all; the great paradox of education is that the truly important lessons of life can only be learned through your own endless exploration. — Expanding Your Range (Growth/Change/Education/Learning/Habit)
