Quote by George Bernard Shaw

You have learned something. That always feels at first as if you have lost something.

You have learned something. That always feels at first as if

Summary

This quote suggests that the process of learning can initially feel like a loss or sacrifice. When we acquire new knowledge or grow in understanding, it often requires letting go of old beliefs or familiar ways of thinking. This can create a temporary sense of confusion or discomfort, making it seem as though something has been taken away from us. However, the quote emphasizes that this feeling is a normal part of learning and growth, as ultimately, gaining new knowledge enriches our lives and expands our horizons.
