The Duke Ai asked which of the disciples loved to learn.Go here to read the introductory post to this serialized version of the Analects of Confucius.
Confucius replied to him, "There was Yen Hui; he loved to learn. He did not transfer his anger; he did not repeat a fault. Unfortunately, his appointed time was short and he died; and now there is not such another. I have not yet heard of any one who loves to learn as he did."
