“The most valued lover, the most valuable parent, the most valued friend, the most valuable “wilderman,” is the one who wishes to learn. Those who are not delighted by learning, those who cannot be enticed into new ideas or experiences, cannot develop past the roadpost they rest at now. If there is but one force which feeds the roots of pain, it is the refusal to learn beyond this moment.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, quoted in Christian Mystics by Matthew Fox
