Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem - Thomas Szasz
Quote
"Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all."
