*Quote*
"What have we learned? That's the wrong question. We haven't learned anything. You learned. I already know everything in this book, or I possibly couldn't have written it. Don't make this about me. You always do that. It's about you and what you have learned from me" (213). This quote is important because it shows that even though this book is all about Colbert and what he believes, he does have room in his heart for us to take advantage of his knowledge instead of leaving it to himself.

*Theme*
The theme at the end of the book is to share Stephen's knowledge with the rest of the world so they can learn how it works.
