"Real education leads to the liberation of the mind."
"Experience is a sacred education."
"My expectations from the university were perhaps too idealistic. I had dreams of learning things about innovation and discovery in the field of technology, but all of it hit the ground hard, when I faced with the pathetic reality of the so-called higher education system. To my surprise, I found myself stuck behind the walls of meaningless facts, figures and rankings.

It was not education, and moreover, it was definitely not science."
"Anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life.

"Learn how to learn...then start learning."
