Racism is a learned affliction and anything that is learned can be unlearned

Jane Elliott

Don't be proud of what you know, and don't be self-confident if you are learned. Be open to advice from the unlearned as well as from the learned. Art knows no limit, and the artists will never achieve perfection.

Barbara De Angelis

Hate is a learned reaction, and it can be unlearned.

Kerry Kennedy

Learned or unlearned we all must be scribbling.

Horace

I write for the unlearned about things in which I am unlearned myself.

C. S. Lewis

The learned understand the reason of art; the unlearned feel the pleasure.

Quintilian

Learned women are ridiculed because they put to shame unlearned men.

George Sand

Habits are learned. And children learn their habits by watching what we do, not by listening to what we say. So we have to stop talking and teaching and preaching and just go do.

Glennon Doyle Melton

The learned are said to have seeing eyes; The unlearned have only two sores on their faces.

Thiruvalluvar

The case for trade is not just monetary, but moral. Economic freedom creates habits of liberty. And habits of liberty create expectations of democracy.

George W. Bush

Lastly, our ancestors established their system of government on morality and religious sentiment. Moral habits, they believed, cannot safely be trusted on any other foundation than religious principle, nor any government be secure which is not supported by moral habits.... Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.

Daniel Webster

No one is born believing in harmful stereotypes. They are learned over time. The good news is they can be unlearned.

Kevin Faulconer

I'm always looking for context in which people tell stories. In "Fight Club" it's these support groups for dying people, and then in "Choke" it's 12-step recovery groups. In one novel it's artists' colonies, in another novel it's a diary form that submariners' wives typically keep so that when their husband comes back from serving on a submarine they have an accounting of their spouse's time. So I'm always looking for, number one, a non-fiction context - because you can tell a more outrageous story if you use a non-fiction form.

Chuck Palahniuk

There is virtue yet in the hoe and the spade, for learned as well as for unlearned hands. And labor is everywhere welcome; alwayswe are invited to work.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I learned to play piano in a rock n' roll context or band context from country records - you know, Floyd Cramer - and from the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and Stax. And none of those are keyboard records.

Benmont Tench

Habits of pessimism lead to depression, wither achievement, and undermine physical health. The good news is that pessimism can be unlearned, and that with its removal depression, underachievement, and poor health can be alleviated.

Martin Seligman
