Erotic Or Sexual Love Can Truly Be

All Genuine Learning Is Active, Not Passive.

I Find The Selectivity Of Erotic Love - The Choice Of This Man Or This Woman - Much More Intelligible If Liking The Person Is The Origin Of Sexual Interest, Rather Than The Other Way.

There Is A Strange Fact About The Human Mind, A Fact That Differentiates The Mind Sharply From The Body. The Body Is Limited In Ways That The Mind Is Not. One Sign Of This Is That The Body Does Not Continue Indefinitely To Grow In Strength And Develop In Skill And Grace. By The Time Most People Are Thirty Years Old, Their Bodies Are As Good As They Will Ever Be; In Fact, Many Persons' Bodies Have Begun To Deteriorate By That Time. But There Is No Limit To The Amount Of Growth And Development That The Mind Can Sustain. The Mind Does Not Stop Growing At Any Particular Age.

If Your Friend Wishes To Read Your 'plutarch's Lives,' 'shakespeare,' Or 'the Federalist Papers,' Tell Him Gently But Firmly, To Buy A Copy. You Will Lend Him Your Car Or Your Coat - But Your Books Are As Much A Part Of You As Your Head Or Your Heart.

The Purpose Of Learning Is Growth, And Our Minds, Unlike Our Bodies, Can Continue Growing As We Continue To Live.
