"Sufficient time must be devoted to the process of “being” rather than “doing.” This is perhaps life’s greatest lesson of all.

We are actually afraid of time, as well as meaning and value; and this is why we turn to materialism."
"To study is to live… The discipline of learning provides cohesion, a clear and compelling reason for being."
