I Have No Special Talents I Am Only Passionately

I am not one who was born in the possession of knowledge; I am one who is fond of antiquity, and earnest in seeking it there.

I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.

I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

I know that I know nothing.

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

I don't try to imagine a personal God; it suffices to stand in awe at the structure of the world, insofar as it allows our inadequate senses to appreciate it.
