“I think if you study--if you learn too much of what others have done, you may tend to take the same direction as everybody else.”
― Jim Henson, It's Not Easy Being Green and Other Things to Consider

“How you spend your time when you are not working or studying says everything about who you are and what is motivating your life.”
― Jennifer Elisabeth, Born Ready: Unleash Your Inner Dream Girl

“You cannot afford to confine your studies to the classroom. The universe and all of history is your classroom.”
― Stella Adler, The Art of Acting

“The difference between reading a story and studying a story is the difference between living the story and killing the story and looking at its guts.”
― Cory Doctorow, Eastern Standard Tribe

“Well, tests ain't fair. Those that study have an unfair advantage. It's always been that way.”
― Allan Dare Pearce, Paris in April

“A silent yawn is a scream for coffee”
― T. Haque

― Israelmore Ayivor, Shaping the dream

“And if she liked and trusted the person who asked, she would add that yes, it was kind of a lot to deal with: her outward affect was bright and capable, and that was no illusion, but equally real was the yawning pit of exhaustion inside her. She just felt so tired sometimes. And because of everything her parents asked of her, she was ashamed of being tired. She could not, would not let the pit swallow her up, as much as she sometimes wanted it to.”
― Lev Grossman, The Magician's Land

“Shouldn’t we respect that fewer women want to go into some areas of study than other areas of study?”
― Chris Sardegna

“Just because you spent 4 years studying a subject doesn't mean you have to spend the rest 40 years suffering it.”

“What you learn is your personal treasure. No one can take it away from you.”

“If you are one of those people who can’t hold a lot in mind at once—you lose focus and start daydreaming in lectures, and have to get to someplace quiet to focus so you can use your working memory to its maximum—well, welcome to the clan of the creative. Having a somewhat smaller working memory means you can more easily generalize your learning into new, more creative combinations. Because you’re learning new, more creative combinations. Having a somewhat smaller working memory, which grows from the focusing abilities of the prefrontal cortex, doesn’t lock everything up so tightly, you can more easily get input from other parts of your brain. These other areas, which include the sensory cortex, not only are more in tune with what’s going on in the environment, but also are the source of dreams, not to mention creative ideas. You may have to work harder sometimes (or even much of the time) to understand what’s going on, but once you’ve got something chunked, you can take that chunk and turn it outside in and inside round—putting it through creative paces even you didn’t think you were capable of!

Here’s another point to put into your mental chunker: Chess, that bastion of intellectuals, has some elite players with roughly average IQs. These seemingly middling intellects are able to do better than some more intelligent players because they practice more. That’s the key idea. Every chess player, whether average or elite, grows talent by practicing. It is the practice—particularly deliberate practice on the toughest aspects of the material—that can help lift average brains into the realm of those with more “natural�� gifts. Just as you can practice lifting weights and get bigger muscles over time, you can also practice certain mental patterns that deepen and enlarge in your mind.”

“Intellectual death is endemic in areas where people are not prepared to gain new information for development. Learning is the intervention!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“Learn to discover your divine potential.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“Eva walked along the wall that held all of Michael's books. Shelves of science texts - physics, astronomy, a full set of Darwin's writings, new works in biomedical genetics - these were at the bottom, and books on philosophy and religion at the top. A row of poetry books caught her eye. Rumi, Whitman, Neruda - impossible to comprehend what he might be looking for in the poets' works he collected. Love possibly, but not love the way she understood it. She couldn't wait until she would no longer have to study, but Michael - he loved to study even when he wasn't a student.”
― J.J. Brown, Vector a Modern Love Story

“My doctors asked what was wrong when they found me pale faced and lifeless. I told them I spent an immense amount of time stuDYING.”
― Karen Quan, Better to be able to love than to be loveable

“Some of the test subjects were given cards that had both words printed in full, like this:

Hot: Cold

Others used cards that showed only the first letter of the second word, like this:

Hot: C

The people who used the cards with the missing letters performed much better in a subsequent test measuring how well they remembered the word pairs. Simply forcing their minds to fill in a blank, to act rather than observe, led to stronger retention of information.”
― Nicholas Carr, The Glass Cage: How Our Computers Are Changing Us

“Margueritte hat einen Abschluss. Nicht ur einen popeligen Abschluss wie die mittlere Reife, die jeder Dahergelaufene hat (na ja, bis auf mich), sondern sie hat ein richtiges Studium hinter sich. So was dauert so lange, dass man schon alt ist, wenn man damit fertig wird, und keine Zeit mehr hat, genug Arbeitsjahre zusammenzubringen, um eine anständige Rente zu kriegen.”
― Marie-Sabine Roger, Das Labyrinth der Wörter

“Two places away to the left was the don who had been Richard’s Director of Studies in English, who showed no signs of recognising him at all. This was hardly surprising since Richard had spent his three years here assiduously avoiding him, often to the extent of growing a beard and pretending to be someone else.”
― Douglas Adams

“Учиться приятно, а вот разубеждаться в чем-то �� напротив.”

“The treasure of life, learning.”

“Learn with great passion.
Learn with great enthusiasm.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“Needless to say, that meant that the Braekbills student body was quite the psychological menagerie. Carrying that much onboard cognitive processing power had a way of distorting your personality. And to actually want to work that hard, you had to be at least a little bit screwed up.”
― Lev Grossman, The Magician's Land

“Then, when I've got a degree in maths, or physics, or maths and physics, I will be able to get a job and earn lots of money and I will be able to pay someone who can look after me and cook my meals and wash my clothes, or I will get a lady to marry me and be my wife and she can look after me so I can have company and not be on my own.”
― Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
