Self Educated Quotes

“Whether one is formally educated or self educated; the cornerstone of success is education.”
― Will Foster

“As they left the pier and walked into the park, Chahda looked around appreciatively. "Nice place, this. Capital of New Caledonia. Big island, has 8,548 square mile, also has 53,245 peoples. Eleven thousand in Noumea. That is what says the Worrold Alm-in-ack."

Rick and Scotty laughed. It was like old times to hear Chahda quoting from The World Almanac. A Bombay beggar boy, he had educated himself with only the Almanac for his textbook, and he had laboriously memorized everything in it.”
― John Blaine, The Phantom Shark

“A person, only educated by others, is an uneducated person; without self-education you cannot get an education in the strict sense of the term.”

“Servant Scientist (The Sonnet)

No academician lent me a hand,
No industry gave an ounce of backup.
If I am what I am today, it's because,
I was too stubborn to give up.
Hence I can say without hesitation,
My legacy is built only by me,
Not an industry, not a benefactor,
And definitely not some university.
I come from the working class,
With neither education nor wealth.
Hence, my priority is always people,
Not comfort, nor intellect, nor gelt.
The name is Naskar, I'm a Servant Scientist,
Painkiller to people, pesticide to prejudice.”

“Dropout Scientist (The Sonnet)

I am a scientist who doesn't have a degree,
I am a poet who has no control over words.
I am a philosopher who has no intellect whatsoever,
I am a monk with no idea, what it means to be religious.
If I am being honest, I have no clue what I am,
And I know quite well that you do not know either.
But believe you me my friend, one day in sheer awe,
Your descendants will come up with the rightful answer.
In my 30 years of life, I've traveled quite a distance,
Which will take the world at least a millennium to cover.
That's why archaic designations fall short to define life,
No designation is qualified to define a being beyond border.
My faith is humanity, my reason is humanity, my love is humanity.
I am but a glimpse of the future, without coldness and rigidity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

“In a world lost in the darkness of ignorance, deception and confusion, a self-educated human being with integrity is the Light.”
― Gavin Nascimento

“I appreciate the sentiment, but kindly refrain from addressing me as "Dr", it is misleading, as I am an Autodidact, and do not hold a doctorate.”
― Abhijit Naskar
