Summary

This quote suggests that true education is not simply memorizing information and regurgitating it, but rather understanding and retaining knowledge that shapes our thinking and actions even after we have forgotten the specific details. It highlights the importance of critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to apply what we have learned in practical situations. Education should go beyond superficial knowledge and aim to cultivate a deeper understanding that stays with us throughout our lives.
