Woman is sacred the woman one loves is holy.
— The Count of Monte Cristo
To learn is not to know; there are the learners and the learned. Memory makes the one, philosophy the others.
Where this quote comes from
The Abbé Faria says this to Edmond Dantès in chapter 17 of The Count of Monte Cristo, when the two prisoners meet in the Château d'If. Dantès asks the old priest to teach him, and Faria replies that he can pass on his mathematics, physics, history and languages in about two years. What Dantès learns will be the principles; applying them is a different matter.

Learning does not make one learned: there are those who have knowledge and those who have understanding. The first requires memory and the second philosophy.
