The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn."-attributed to Alvin Toffler "That is what learning is.You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way."-attributed to Doris Lessing "Zwei Dinge sollen Kinder von ihren Eltern bekommen: Wurzeln und Flügel" "There are two things children should get from their parents: roots and wings."-attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Each day learn something new, and just as important, relearn something old." -attributed to Robert Breault "Het is niet goed maar één ding te weten, men raakt daar verstompt van, men moet niet rusten voor men ook het tegenovergestelde weet.""It is not good to know just one thing, one becomes deadened by that, one should not rest before one also knows the opposite."-attributed to Vincent van Gogh "Estudar não é um ato de consumir idéias, mas de criá-las e recriá-las.""To study is not to consume ideas but to create and re-create them."-Paulo Freire in The Politics of Education: Culture, Power, and Liberation, originally part of a speech in Chile "Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings.New ideas must use old buildings.
