Norton Juster Quotes
When you're very young and you learn something - a fact, a piece of information, whatever - it doesn't connect to anything. - Norton Juster
Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course.

And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer.
