"Once you have learned to ask questions-relevant and appropriate and substantial questions-you have learned how to learn and no one can keep you from learning whatever you want or need to know." Neil Postman & Charles Weingartner, Teaching as a Subversive Activity, New York: Dell Publishing, 1969

There's loads on there but i liked these (particularly the last one hee hee!)

Subject: Summing up LD work
Hi all,
We were thinking of making explicit something of our theoretical underpinnings in our latest publicity so I'm looking for a couple of inspirational quotes by great names and/or great Learning Developers (etc.) that capture the essence of our work. I'm about to look at the LDHEN blog because last year's thread where we describe what we do might throw up the right sort of thing, as well as some of the keynote speakers we've had. I like Ghandi's 'Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever', and of course Einstein's 'standing on the shoulders of giants' is great in terms of criticality, referencing etc., but something less known, more specific and less cinematic might be better. Any ideas, especially actual or paraphrased quotes and names, would be very welcome!
Thanks!
Eloïse
