"Learning locked in mildewed books is of little use to anyone and therefore of no value unless it can be used."
I remember how excited I was when I took my first philosophy class in high school when I was a senior. We were going to study the great philosophers so we were going to learn the wisdom that had been accumuled in our culture. And I WANTED this.
