Quotes About Learning

I don't think anybody can teach anybody anything. I think that you learn it, but the young writer that is as I say demon-driven and wants to learn and has got to write, he don't know why, he will learn from almost any source that he finds. He will learn from older people who are not writers, he will learn from writers, but he learns it -- you can't teach it.

Because a fellow can see ever now and then that children have more sense than him. But he don't like to admit it to them until they have beards.
