Quote by Diana Helmuth

“When you know you don't know everything,' he says, 'you keep learning. And there's always more to learn. That would be my higher level of advice. Learn everything, study everything. Regard everybody as a potential teacher. When you are the smartest one in the room, you can get really contemptuous of other people. But at some point, you realize there are lots of other criteria by which people may excel. Somebody may be incredibly talented at music or art, or absolutely astonishing at human relationships or something else. We have to give credit to all these things as values. You shouldn't think, "Well, I'm better than everybody else because I'm good at this one thing." Humility can allow you to put what you've got into service and understand that that's our function.”

“Children under, say, ten, shouldn't know that the universe is ever-expanding, inexorably pushing into the vacuum, galaxies swallowed by galaxies, whole solar systems collapsing, all of it acted out in silence. At ten we are still learning the rules of cartoon animation, that if a man draws a door on a rock only he can pass through it. Anyone else who tries will crash into the rock.”

“Leave me to my repose,’ is the motto of the sleeping and the dead. You might as well ask the paralytic to leap from his chair and throw away his crutch, or, without a miracle, to ‘take up his bed and walk,’ as expect the learned reader to throw down his book and think for himself. He clings to it for his intellectual support; and his dread of being left to himself is like the horror of a vacuum. He can only breathe a learned atmosphere, as other men breathe common air. He is a borrower of sense. He has no ideas of his own, and must live on those of other people. The habit of supplying our ideas from foreign sources ‘enfeebles all internal strength of thought,’ as a course of dram-drinking destroys the tone of the stomach.”
