You must know nothing before you can learn something, and be empty before you can be filled. Is not the emptiness of the bowl what makes it useful?

So true. Very thought provoking
Thanks, Nikesh!
Lloyd Alexander is an underrated children’s and young adult writer. His books are treasure troves of wisdom.
I adored them when I was growing up! He’s right up there with Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Thanks, Jonathan.
