Quote by John Cowper Powys
No refining of one's taste in matters of art or literature, no sharpening of one's powers of insight in matters of science or psychology, can ever take the place of one's sensitiveness to the life of the earth. This is the beginning and the end of a person's true education.
Summary

Understanding and appreciating the natural world, its rhythms, and its interconnectedness is seen as the foundation and ultimate goal of one's true education.
