I think I posted in the wrong place so here it is again:

11. "Information creates the illusion of knowing something but in fact leads one away from knowing"

Ex: When studying for a test, you have all of the facts, dates, and events recorded in your notes. Although you may be able to memorize all of the information, you don't have a deeper understanding of the material, and when asked to describe the significance of certain "things", you have no idea what to write. This situation reveals that you may be able to literally understand information and get every factual question correct, but you still may have no idea how to connect ideas and see the big picture. This quote represents the difference between memorization and true comprehension.
