Explanation:

• "So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible." matches "Not knowing the limits of what can be done sometimes allows you to achieve more." because both emphasize the idea that ignorance of impossibility can lead to achievement.
• "I often find," he casually explained to his dazed visitors, "that the best way to get from one place to another is to erase everything and begin again." matches "Starting from scratch can help you reach an answer." as erasing and beginning again is similar to starting from scratch.
• "What you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow." matches "You cannot always see the purpose of what you are studying." since today's learning (whose purpose isn't seen now) helps tomorrow.
• "In school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going." matches "No matter what you're doing, something else always seems more appealing." as the person always wants to be doing something else.
