“An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. It's knowing where to go to find out what you need to know, and it's knowing how to use the information once you get it.”

Once you understand a simple but false rule, it will not be hard to supplement that rule with its exceptions.”
