A philosophical pearl from Dune

"..... to the others, we can say here that Muad'Dib learnt so quickly because the first teaching he got was to know how to learn. And the first lesson of this teaching was the certainty that he had the capacity to learn. It is disconcerting to notice that so many people think that they can't learn and how even many more believe that it is a difficult thing. Muad'Dib knew that each experience carries its lesson in itself."

Dune - Frank Herbert

(rough personal translation)

( happy to find a relevant line in a sci-fi book!)
