Knowledge


 The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
  Laurence Sterne

 The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
  Laurence Sterne

 The desire to know and to understand are themselves connotative, i.e. have a striving character, and are as much personality needs as the `basic needs' we have already discussed.
  Abraham Maslow

 The educated do not share a common body of information, but a common state of mind

 The essence of tragedy is to know the end.

 The experimenter who does not know what he is looking for will not understand what he finds

 The first study for the man who wants to be a poet is knowledge of himself, complete: he searches for his soul, he inspects it, he puts it to the test, he learns it. As soon as he has learned it, he must cultivate it! I say that one must be a seer, make oneself a seer. The poet becomes a seer through a long, immense, and reasoned derangement of all the senses. All shapes of love suffering, madness. He searches himself, he exhausts all poisons in himself, to keep only the quintessences. Ineffable torture where he needs all his faith, all his superhuman strength, where he becomes among all men the great patient, the great criminal, the great accursed one--and the supreme Scholar! For he reaches the unknown! ....So the poet is actually a thief of Fire!
  Arthur Rimbaud

 The fox knows many things - the hedgehog, one big one

 The human condition is defined by periods of not knowing as much as one wants and is crowned by moments of thinking one knows everything.

 The knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him.
  Blaise Pascal

 The knowledge of God without that of man's misery causes pride. The knowledge of man's misery without that of God causes despair. The knowledge of Jesus Christ constitutes the middle course, because in Him we find both God and our misery.
  Blaise Pascal

 The knowledge of numbers is one of the chief distinctions between us and the brutes

 The knowledge that makes us cherish innocence makes innocence unattainable.
  Irving Howe

 The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.
  Plato

 The little I know I owe to my ignorance.
  Sacha Guitry
