quotation
\so many things are possible just as long as you dont know theyre impossible.\
\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.\
\what you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of 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.

Explanation:

• For the quotation "So many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible.", it aligns with the theme "Not knowing the limits of what can be done sometimes allows you to achieve more" as the idea of not being restricted by the knowledge of impossibility (similar to not knowing limits) leads to more achievements.
• For the quotation "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.", it matches the theme "Starting from scratch can help you reach an answer" as erasing and beginning again is like starting from scratch.
• For the quotation "What you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow.", it corresponds to the theme "You cannot always see the purpose of what you are studying" because what is learned today (without seeing its immediate purpose) helps in the future (discovering tomorrow's secrets).
• For the description "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.", it fits the theme "No matter what you're doing, something else always seems more appealing" as the person is always longing for something else (opposite of what they are currently doing).
