1 " Very often a man can hardly read and yet he takes nothing less than Marx's Capital, only to discover that he does not understand it. The less energetic and persevering lose heart; they consider the job of studying too difficult and drop it. And it is difficult only because the man tackles Marx without having either the skill or knowledge to master the subject, because he goes bear-hunting with bare hands, so to speak. "
― Nadezhda Krupskaya , On education: Selected articles and speeches
2 " Self-education, however can bring fruitful results only if one knows what to read, how to read and how best to organize one's studies. "
3 " Things go well at a collective farm or a factory because there is a plan. So does self-education if there is a plan, if the man does not skip from book to book - if he does not jump from history to literature and from literature to physics. It is no use studying like that. "
4 " Tackling something we cannot cope with is a plain waste of energy and time. "
