Quote by Paulo Coelho

People never learn anything by being told, they have to find out for themselves.

People never learn anything by being told, they have to find

Summary

This quote emphasizes the limited effectiveness of merely being told information or lessons, as true learning comes from personal experiences and realizations. It suggests that individuals cannot truly grasp or internalize knowledge until they have actively sought and discovered it through their own explorations and observations. In this sense, the quote highlights the importance of hands-on learning, where individuals have the opportunity to discover and understand things on their own terms, rather than relying solely on instruction or explanation.

A man writes to throw off the poison which he has accumulated because of his false way of life. He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment.
