I just browsed through facebook and a friend I had made in China had posted the following quote up as her status:

我學得越多，我知道得越多；我知道得越多，我忘得越多；我忘得越多，我知道得越少。
那麽，我爲什麽學習？
It translates to "The more I learn, the more I know; the more I know, the more I forget; the more I forget, the less I know. Then... why is it that I study?" She's got a point there. :/
