I find solace in quotations. You see, although I love the search for knowledge, the mystery of new discoveries, and the improvement of ones mind, I am, alas, not the most diligent student there ever was. I lack ambition and drive. Those terms are, to me, crass and vulgar, though they should not be, as they are what propel the motors of science and industry. To my unrefined mind they lack certain... playfulness. The quest for knowledge of oneself, the universe and everything should, above all, be FUN.
This train of thought led me to despair. Was I less intelligent, because I lacked the will to enforce my views and disputations on others? Joy of joys, good old Albert Einstein came thundering to the rescue, with easy to remember quotes, for young and old to enjoy!
"Knowledge is what remains, after one has forgotten what he has learned at school."
-Albert Einstein
See? Not a word-for-word quotation I'll grant you, but close enough and it delivers the joyful message for all to revel in.
