It is as impossible to withhold education from the receptive

Summary

This quote suggests that education is most effective when the learner is willing and open to receiving it. Trying to prevent a curious mind from seeking knowledge is futile, just as attempting to educate someone who refuses to engage with the learning process is a futile endeavor. Education needs to be embraced and actively sought by individuals, rather than being forced upon them.
