True Education

“And what is a student? Is it a boy or girl who goes to school and reads a few books in order to pass some examination? Or is only he a student who is learning all the time and for whom there is no end to learning? Surely, the person who merely reads up on a subject, passes an examination, and then drops it, is not a student. The real student is studying, learning, inquiring, exploring, not just until he is twenty or twenty five, but throughout life.” — Jiddu Krishnamurti, excerpt from Think on These Things

I think this quote was one of the main catalysts that pushed me away from my pre-programmed, predisposed, pre-brainwashed path of traditional education into a path of self-education.
