It contains—"uncomfortably and honestly"—Bloch's own self- appraisal: Bloch emphasises failures in the French mindset: in the loss of morale of the soldiery and a failed education of the officers, effectively a failure of both character and intelligence on behalf of both. He condemns the "mania" for testing in education which, he felt, treated the testing as being an end in itself, draining generations of Frenchmen and Frenchwomen of originality and initiative or thirst for knowledge, and an "appreciation only of successful cheating and sheer luck". Strange Defeat has been called Bloch's autopsy of the France of the inter-war years. A collection of essays was published in English in 1961 as Land and Work in Medieval Europe.

Reviewing the Welcome Rain edition in November 1999, Kirkus Reviews commented that "the most lyrical and introspective pages of his autobiography are reserved for his wife, Sukanya, and his daughter and musical disciple, Anoushka", and concluded of the book: "Unpretentious and [as] spiritually illuminating as Shankar's music.""RAGA MALA by Ravi Shankar", Kirkus Reviews, 15 November 1999 (retrieved 20 September 2014). Writing for Soundchecks, Amy Harlib considered Raga Mala a "surprisingly frank account" and described the author's style in the following terms: "a blend of charm and candour; dignity and humility; spiritual depth and sparkling sense of humour; and a never-ending thirst for knowledge, exploration and growth."Amy Harlib, "Raga Mala: The Autobiography of Ravi Shankar", soundchecks.co.

Josiah Morrow, the historian of Warren County, wrote of Ward: :His early opportunities for education were limited, but such was his thirst for knowledge that he became an insatiable reader, and, when he was eighteen years old he had read every book he had ever seen. He has never lost his studious habits, and when at home he is most frequently found in his library . . . . He attended for two years Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, one county east of Fayette and across the state line, then taught school in Warren County and settled there. He studied law under Judge George J. Smith (1799–1878) and Thomas Corwin, a Lebanon attorney who later was Governor of Ohio.

Edward Mardigian was the youngest of Stephen Mardigian's children, and was only six when he immigrated to the United States. Stephan Mardigian, who had been working as a Butcher in Toledo, Ohio, USA, saved enough money to bring the family to the United States in October 1914, on the eve of the Armenian Genocide. Stephen Mardigian's first order of business, once settled was to ensure for his children, the best educational opportunities and benefits that America had to offer, and which had been denied to his people in Turkey. Edward Mardigian became an excellent student, and couldn't seem to surround himself with enough books to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, particularly for the automotive industry and technology.

Bhagatji Maharaj explained that Gunatitanand Swami was the ideal devotee of Swaminarayan and all devotees should aspire to become like him in order to develop firm conviction in Purushottam. Shastri Yagnapurushdas became a staunch proponent of the Akshar-Purushottam Upasana and began spreading this philosophy despite opposition from some members of the Vadtal diocese of the Swaminarayan Sampradaya. Under Bhagatji Maharaj, Shastri Yagnapurushdas also refined his knowledge of the major Hindu scriptures and the Vachanamrut before undergoing periods of tutelage under Tyaganand Brahmachari and undertaking a course on Sanskrit studies under the famous Rangacharya of the Madhva Sampradaya. His powerful intellect and thirst for knowledge had a profound impact on Rangacharya and they become close friends.

This is in compliance to the agreement that was being entered upon by the institution with Cedric Sobrepenia who represented the family during its negotiations with the administration regarding the property's lease extension. The new lease agreement that was finalized on July 2003, allowed a transition period of 3 years. Through the benevolence of the Madrona and Handayan family, the institution was guaranteed of a space for the construction of a temporary school building while the administration is trying to secure the entitlement of the school's main lot in order to clear the way for the construction of the proposed four-storey school building. Macrohon Institute will always be a beacon for all individuals who thirst for knowledge.

The founder of the school was born at Sharperton, Northumberland, and when very young displayed a thirst for knowledge and an aptitude for mathematics. He was tutored by a Roman Catholic clergyman, and at age 19 while acting as an assistant teacher qualified for entry to the University of Dublin, but family illnesses kept him in England, and in 1823 he took to teaching, and opened a school in Ovingham, near Newcastle upon Tyne. He was very successful there, and he received offers from Newcastle to move there, but chose to remain in Ovingham, where he married and became the father of six daughters and two sons. He became quite well off financially, but lost most of his savings in the economic downturn of 1848–1849.

Mikhail Kazinik considers it necessary to carry out the reform of school education both in Russia and in the world. In his opinion, the modern school forms a "clip thinking" in the child, since he receives disparate knowledge in different subjects that is not interconnected. In his opinion, the school "filled their heads like a bag of straw, stuffed with a bunch of information, 90% of which they would never need, and did not give the paradigm of knowledge, thirst for knowledge, craving for knowledge, a way of knowing through culture, through art, through mathematics". Mikhail Kazinik realizes his vision of school education in the Chelyabinsk private school "7 keys", where children learn according to his method of "complex-wave lessons".

Martina studied at different private schools in Santiago. In 1853 she joined the Rafaela Fernández's school and later the Miss Whitelock's school. Years later she admitted not having learned much in those schools, which she left at 11 years of age. Her greatest source of education was her uncle Diego, as she herself would say in her memoirs, entitled Memories of My Life: > in my case, I owe my work to my uncle Diego that took care of me while I was > single, I think it would not have been possible to find a better teacher ... > [my education] I also owe to my own initiative, my thirst for knowledge, my > admiration for superior talent, which has been one of the characteristics of > my life.

Parallel to this formal education, Clemente Estable's relentless thirst for knowledge took an auto-didactic route, as he dedicated himself to the study of Nature. He studies psychology, biology, and, most importantly, helps develop the nascent branch of microscopic biology. In 1914, he graduates from the Teacher's College and dedicates his efforts to teaching in some of the public schools of the city of Montevideo. In particular, Primary School #38, where he taught 2nd Grade, the Artigas School, and later the Espana Vocational School. By 1917, he is already teaching teachers-to-be at the Teacher's College he once attended. Three years later, in 1920, he is awarded a post as 'Maestro de Conferencias adscripto a la Inspeccion Tecnica de Ensenanza Privada'.

Around age twelve, Kreps was sent to boarding school at the now defunct Stuart Robinson School joining the class of 1938 Her education was largely paid for by the Presbyterian Church, and she noted that even though the boarding school was closer than the public high school, her thirst for knowledge was that ultimately what propelled her toward seeking a private education. Teachers at her boarding school came from all over the South and the education she was receiving at the time was highly esteemed. Her high school counselors tried to steer her towards going to Berea College, which was a free institution, or other Presbyterian colleges like Flora McDonald. However, Kreps' financial situation restricted her from schools with high tuition and made the cheaper options more viable.

Titsingh was very keen on having his scholarly questions answered and showed an enormous inexhaustible thirst for knowledge. Looking at his private correspondence three mottos of his behaviour and values can be identified: the rejection of money, as it did not satisfy his enormous thirst of knowledge; an acknowledgment and consciousness of the brevity of life and wasting this precious time not with featureless activities; and his desire to die in calmness, as a "forgotten citizen of the world". In this light he displayed the values of a European philosopher of the 18th century, who was as well interested in his fellow Japanese scholars. Therefore, he also acknowledged their intellectual competences and sophistication and contributed to an intense exchange of cultural knowledge between Japan and Europe in the 18th century.

The Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, or CCSF, exists to bring better to the world through investment in exceptional students who are dedicated to leadership, service, and action that positively affects others. It is a non- profit organization that works on behalf and at the direction of the Coca-Cola system (including The Coca-Cola Company, the world's largest producer of non- alcoholic beverages, and its many subsidiaries) to provide scholarships to some 1,400 students annually in amounts totaling over $3.4 million each year. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation has the stated mission to "provide scholarship programs and enrichment opportunities in support of exceptional young peoples' thirst for knowledge and their desire to make a difference in the world." Since its inception in 1986, CCSF has awarded over $73,000,000 in scholarships through 3 nationally recognized programs.

Series 1 of Parallel 9 began on 25 April 1992. The premise of the show focused on Mercator, an old alien 'Time Baron' with very long eyebrows (played by Roddy Maude-Roxby) who had been banished to Parallel 9 after summoning an earth girl named Calendular as a result of his thirst for knowledge — a criminal offence on his home planet 'Zarb'. As part of his punishment, he was allowed to awake for only 2 hours a week; from 9am to 11am on 'the day the Earthlings call Saturday', and had the ability to 'beam up' guests from Earth to Parallel 9, to take part in interviews and features with Calendular, who had decided to take up permanent residence in Parallel 9. Among the other characters that made regular appearances in the first series were three other criminals who had been banished from their home planet: Steyl, Skyn and Thynkso.

Here, reason and chaos, the intelligent and the material world, stand opposed; and between them is the human soul, belonging to both spheres, yet striving toward the higher and the spiritual. The soul is unable to ascend by its own power; therefore, a heavenly being, concordant with the will of the supreme principle, descends into the human world and redeems the soul by showing it the way through the spheres which sunder it from the world divine. It is not mere thirst for knowledge that impels the Gnostics, but essentially a concern of salvation; because the Gnostic's salvation depends on the possession of the Gnosis respecting these things. Like Gnosis at large, the Ophites teach the existence of a Supreme Being, standing infinitely high above the visible world; qualified as purely spiritual, the primal basis of all things, the starting-point of the cosmic process.

As an example of this, he cited Nunn's failure to have ever won the World Chess Championship: > He has so incredibly much in his head. Simply too much. His enormous powers > of understanding and his constant thirst for knowledge distracted him from > chess. Nunn is also involved with chess problems, composing several examples and solving as part of the British team on several occasions. On this subject he wrote Solving in Style (1985). He won the World Chess Solving Championship in Halkidiki, Greece, in September 2004 and also made his final GM norm in problem solving. There were further wins of the World Championship in 2007John Nunn wins World Chess Problem Solving Championship, ChessBase News, 3 November 2007 and in 2010.John Nunn wins World Problem Solving Championship, ChessBase News, 3 November 2010 He is the third person ever to gain both over-the-board and solving GM titles (the others being Jonathan Mestel and Ram Soffer; Bojan Vučković has been the fourth since 2008).

In his speech, entitled "On Taking Things for Granted", Goddard included a section that would become emblematic of his life: > [J]ust as in the sciences we have learned that we are too ignorant to safely > pronounce anything impossible, so for the individual, since we cannot know > just what are his limitations, we can hardly say with certainty that > anything is necessarily within or beyond his grasp. Each must remember that > no one can predict to what heights of wealth, fame, or usefulness he may > rise until he has honestly endeavored, and he should derive courage from the > fact that all sciences have been, at some time, in the same condition as he, > and that it has often proved true that the dream of yesterday is the hope of > today and the reality of tomorrow. Goddard enrolled at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1904. He quickly impressed the head of the physics department, A. Wilmer Duff, with his thirst for knowledge, and Duff took him on as a laboratory assistant and tutor.

Dinosaur hall, hall 10 at NHM Vienna Kakapo specimens at the museum The history of the Natural History Museum Vienna is shaped by the passion for collecting of renowned monarchs, the endless thirst for knowledge of famous scientists, and the spirit of adventure of travelling researchers. True to the spirit of the inscription carved into the front of the museum, scientists at the NHM Vienna have over the centuries dedicated themselves and their work “to the realm of nature and its exploration”. While in the 19th century this was expressed through major imperial research expeditions to little-known corners of the Earth, today it can be found in modern DNA analysis methods and meteorite research providing insights into unfamiliar worlds and the outer extremes of our cosmos. The earliest collections of the Natural History Museum Vienna date back more than 250 years. It was Emperor Franz I Stephan of Lorraine, Maria Theresa’s husband, who in 1750 purchased what was at the time the world's largest and most famous collection of natural history objects from the Florentine scholar and scientist Jean de Baillou.

In 1923 the abbé Thomas took over Henri's instruction and, being less traditional in his approach, awakened in his charge a hitherto undetected thirst for knowledge. Using the wedding of the prince's sister that year in France as an opportunity, Thomas obtained permission to take Henri to the Parisian banlieues of Meudon and Issy-les-Moulineaux, then working class slums in which the abbé would volunteer to serve the needy daily, bringing Henri into close contact with day laborers. He would later write that this wretched urban experience profoundly affected his future political outlook and sense of justice, contrasting unfavourably with the deprivation to which he was accustomed in Morocco where, he observed, the poor were at least able to enjoy fresh air, space and sunlight while surrounded by relatives and neighbors who shared a near universal poverty, compared to the depressing grime, crowded conditions and anonymity in which Parisian workers toiled amidst extremes of wealth and deprivation. After a year Thomas, whose health suffered in Morocco, was replaced as Henri's preceptor by abbé Dartein, who accompanied the family to France in 1924, preparing the prince for his collegiate matriculation while they occupied an apartment near his parents in Paris.
