About This Quote

The quote above is all about learning. Death is for ever, but learning can happen throughout your life, even after you are dead. The speech goes on to say that if you don’t learn something new, not only will you stop learning, you also won’t be able to understand anything. It is impossible to understand something without trying to learn it.

Learning is not unique to humans. Learning happens in every living creature on the planet.
