There is divine beauty in learning, just as there is human beauty in tolerance. To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you.

    Hay belleza divina en el aprendizaje, así como hay belleza humana en la tolerancia. aprender significa aceptar el postulado de que la vida no comenzó en mi nacimiento. otros han estado aquí antes que yo, y yo sigo sus pasos. Los libros que he leído fueron compuestos por generaciones de padres e hijos, madres e hijas, maestros y discípulos. Soy la suma total de sus experiencias, sus misiones. y tu también.

    в обучении есть божественная красота, так же как в терпимости есть человеческая красота. учиться означает принять постулат о том, что жизнь не началась с моего рождения. другие были здесь до меня, и я иду по их стопам. книги, которые я читал, были составлены поколениями отцов и сыновей, матерей и дочерей, учителей и учеников. я сумма их опыта, их поисков. и ты тоже.
