About This Quote

There is nothing that an intellectual less likes to change than his mind, or a politician his policy. The heart and soul of human nature is change. One can learn from others, but one cannot learn from books. People with strong personalities and convictions will never accept the views of intellectuals. They will not be persuaded by arguments and facts.
