"If you want to learn mathematics, you cannot approach it as a spectator sport; sitting on the edge of the pool and ​dipping your toe in will not get you into the subject. You must jump into it with both feet, commit yourself, and do a lot of dirty work and splashing around..." (John B. Conway, Preface of "A Course in Point Set Topology.")
