A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones.

The World Bank, anxious that the last vestiges of Zimbabwe's former inclination toward socialism be abandoned, successfully urged the imposition of a token tuition charge for all grade levels. Equivalent to one U. S. dollar per year per child, this fee constitutes a burden to the poorest families, who have responded by sending only boys to classes. Too many of the girls . . . have resorted to prostitution in order to eat.

....a good book can teach you about the world and about yourself. You learn more than how to read better; you also learn more about life. You become wiser.

But wiser, in the sense that you are more deeply aware of the great and enduring truths of human life.
Mortimer J. AdlerTags: books education knowledge
An educated man should know everything about something and something about everything
