Thomas Szasz: Maintenance Of Self-Esteem And The Blockage Of Learning

"Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all." 
Thomas Szasz, author, professor of psychiatry (15 Apr 1920-2012)
