“There is within each of us a deep hunger for this type of learning.”
The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization (1990)
Context: Real learning gets to the heart of what it means to be human. Through learning we re-create ourselves. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do. Through learning we reperceive the world and our relationship to it. Through learning we extend our capacity to create, to be part of the generative process of life. There is within each of us a deep hunger for this type of learning.

“Life is a pure flame and we live by an invisible sun within us.”
