They all looked very much like the residents of any small valley to which you've never been.

And that's why people no longer care which words they use as long as they use lots of them.

In this box are all the words I know… Most of them you will never need, some you will use constantly, but with them you may ask all the questions which have never been answered and answer all the questions which have never been asked. All the great books of the past and all the ones yet to come are made with these words. With them there is no obstacle you cannot overcome. All you must learn to do is use them well and in the right places.

Since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking.

What you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow.

...it's not just learning that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things that matters.
