“The idea behind structuralism is that there are things we may not know but we can learn how they are related to each other.”

“How about we give each other everything we can and not blame each other for what we can’t.”

“Learning was of two kinds: the one being the things we learned and knew, and the other being the training that taught us how to find out what we did not know?”

“We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.”

“I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly to each other the things we hold in our hearts, and that too often are said only behind closed doors. There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground.”

“No matter how much we know in any area there are always new things to learn and things we have previously learned that we need to be refreshed in.”

“The only way that we can protect each other is if we are together. If we face things together. If we trust each other.”

“Ladies and gentlemen: War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.”

“It considers not only how we relate to others, but how we relate to our ideas of others — so that a completely phony, non-human replica of a dead wife can inspire the same feelings that the wife herself once did. That is a peculiarity of humans: We feel the same emotions for our ideas as we do for the real world, which is why we can cry while reading a book, or fall in love with movie stars. Our idea of humanity bewitches us, while humanity itself stays safely sealed away into its billions of separate containers, or "people."”

“Learning to be wise has a deeper purpose than just learning to be smart. To become wise, we must learn to understand and master things we do not know. Learn from the mistakes we make ourselves. Learn from the mistakes other people make, and find out how other people achieved success.”
