Neat quote

Working through my section on motivation, I stumbled upon this neat quote:

"In education, as in other meetings between human beings, the wind of the spirit blows where it will. In the end all education is self-education. Somehow or other the learners must come to care sufficiently about what is intrinsic to these worthwhile activities so that they no longer have any need of extrinsic motivation."

I like this quote too.

I had to read it about four times before grasping it though. Food for thought. I like that "all education is self-education". :)
