Norton Juster Quote
But there's so to learn, he said, with a thoughtful frown.Yes, that's true, admitted Rhyme; but it's not just learning things that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things at all that matters.That's just what I mean, explained Milo as Tock and the exhausted bug drifted quietly off to sleep. Many of the things I'm supposed to know seem so useless that I can't see the purpose in learning them at all.You may not see it now, said the Princess of Pure Reason, looking knowingly at Milo's puzzled face, but whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way.
