It is the worst of madness to learn what has to be unlearnt.

A constant element of enjoyment must be mingled with our studies, so that we think of learning as a game rather than a form of drudgery, for no activity can be continued for long if it does not to some extent afford pleasure to the participant.

Letter to Christian Northoff (1497)
