Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.

Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from

Summary

This quote suggests that education has a contrasting effect on wise individuals and those lacking intellect. For the wise, education serves as a tool to expand their understanding and expose them to the vastness of knowledge. On the other hand, for the unintelligent, education acts as a mask that hides their lack of awareness by presenting them with limited information. In essence, education lifts the veil for the astute while obscuring the extent of ignorance for the foolish.

The real risks for any artist are taken in pushing the work

The real risks for any artist are taken in pushing the work to the limits of what is possible, in the attempt to increase the sum of what it is possible to think. Books become good when they go to this edge and risk falling over it --when they endanger the artist by reason of what he has, or has not, artistically dared.

I had very supportive parents that made the way for me, even at a time when there were very few women - no women, really maybe two or three women - and very few, fewer than that, African-American women heading in this direction, so there were very few people to look up to.
