“We love to learn because learning feels good. It both satisfies and stimulates curiosity. Reading a good book, having a meaningful conversation, listening to great music—just doing these things make us happy. They have no extrinsic purpose. To give them one takes away from their joy.”

“He was careful to instruct him in such an affable, kind, and gentle way, that he easily prevailed with him to consider studying, not so much as a duty of obedience to his superiors, but as the way to purchase for himself a most delightsom and invaluable good. In effect, he soon created in Philaretus so strong a passion to acquire knowledge, that what time he could spare from a scholar's task, which his retentive memory made him not find uneasy, he would usually employ so greedily in reading, that his master would sometimes be necessitated to force him out to play, on which, and upon study, he looked, as if their natures were inverted.”

“Undecided' sounds terrible; I hate uncertainty. This doesn't feel like drifitng aimlessly to me though, because I have a solid plan. It just happens to be a plan to try everything, like a big ol' college buffet. One helping of Anthropology of Food, one side of Introduction to Oceanography, one spoonful of History of Opera... I think it's more like 'overdecided'.”
