I have a form of Parkinson's disease, which I don't like. My legs don't move when my brain tells them to. It's very frustrating.

Learning is good in and of itself...the mothers of the Jewish ghettoes of the east would pour honey on a book so the children would know that learning is sweet. And the parents who settled hungry Kansas would take their children in from the fields when a teacher came.
