“Knowledge is not a goal in itself, but a path to wisdom; it bestows not privilege so much as duty, not power so much as responsibility. And it brings with it a desire to learn even as one teaches, to teach even as one learns. It is used not to compete with one’s fellow beings for some unending standard of life, but to achieve for them, as for oneself, a higher quality of life.” -Ambalavaner Sivanandan
