Everything stated or expressed by man is a note in the margin of a completely erased text. From what's in the note we can extract the gist of what must have been in the text, but there's always a doubt, and the possible meanings are many.
Fernando PessoaIf knowledge is power, let's spread it as widely as possible and dilute it to deny those who would abuse it.
Stuart AkenI watch people sometimes, wonder how they can walk around with the weight of what they know.

Either we shall find what it is we are seeking or at least we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know.

Maria MitchellTags: science knowledge absurd

Education doesn’t make you happy. Nor does freedom. We don’t become happy just because we’re free – if we are. Or because we’ve been educated – if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears, tells us where delights are lurking, convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever, that of the mind, and gives us the assurance – the confidence – to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers.

Faith moves mountains, but only knowledge moves them to the right place...
Joseph GoebbelsThe books—the generous friends who met me without suspicion—the merciful masters who never used me ill! The only years of my life that I can look back on with something like pride... Early and late, through the long winter nights and the quiet summer days, I drank at the fountain of knowledge, and never wearied of the draught.
Wilkie CollinsTags: words reading books knowledge literature
I would suggest that science is, at least in my part, informed worship.
