“Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding”
— Ezra Pound

Simplified Meaning:
True learning happens when people are genuinely curious and want to understand things deeply. If someone just goes through the motions without a real desire to know, it's like they're simply following the crowd without thinking for themselves. Imagine a student who asks questions and explores topics because they passionately want to learn. They will gain more meaningful knowledge than someone who studies only because they have to, without any interest. In life, it's important to stay curious and actively seek information, rather than just fitting in and doing what's expected. By doing so, you'll gain a richer and more useful education that truly benefits you.
