English term or phrase: To learn to love to learn
I would like to create a motto in latin for a high school Language Arts Class

To learn to love to learn: "Cognosco amo cognosco" Is that correct?

Latin translation:disco amare discere
Explanation:
I think you need a complementary infinitive in there somewhere or a different construction.

"amo discere" is probably OK for "I love to learn" but I'm not sure of the double complementary construction. I did find "amare discere" at:
