"Whoever passes by what is over his head condemns his head to its present low altitude; for nothing can elevate a mind except what is over its head; and that elevation is not accomplished by capillary attraction, but only by the hard work of climbing up the ropes, with sore hands and aching muscles."
- Dr. Mortimer J. Adler,
excerpts from Invitation to the Pain of Learning , 1941
